From the recording Kids Rock Project
After talking about the concept of this song with the kids, I will not forget when a girl raised her hand and said, "I get it. It's like you want to write out your life in pencil so you can just erase the parts you don't like." Sounds good to me:)
This song was written after we finished the CD so it is unmastered.
Lyrics
FAST FORWARD
I want to write out my life in pencil
Edit out all the bad parts
Everything boring, all of the losses
Every wound of the heart
Skip to the last page
To see how the story ends
Push rewind after I find
Out what happens
Chorus
Fast Forward to the Future
Play it out in my mind
Maybe I will, maybe I won’t
Like what I find
But the power to change the here and now
Is a little imaginative know how to
Fast Forward to the Future
I don’t need a time machine
Just time enough to dream
Picture myself as I want to be
Find the right path for me
Then kick back
Take the good with the bad
I’ve only got this one life
I want to get it right
Chorus repeat
Fast Forward to the Future
Play it out in my mind
Maybe I will, maybe I won’t
Like what I find
But the power to change the here and now
Is a little imaginative know how to
Fast forward to the Future
Bridge
Think about tomorrow...today
Think about tomorrow...today
Might do things in a different way
If we think about tomorrow...today
Chorus repeat
