Within twenty years

How will it look like
within twenty years
Flying on a bicycle
or groping in the sea
Receding hairline
and would there be
someone waiting for me
A natural wondering
of a destiny of could-be's

How will it look like
within twenty years
Hydrogen shoes
and subatomical screens
Giant tomatoes
and plastic supercities
Stiffness going up in my back
and would there be
a future looming for me
A natural wondering
of a destiny of could-be's

Got an uncle on his dying bed
far away from the land he called home
He just said; from hero to zero
and was glad he chased his dreams
He got me thinking, in a life
everything's at warp speed
so I wonder, how will it look like
within twenty years
A natural wondering
of a destiny of could-be's

Voor een schat van een nonkel, Theo, die zijn dromen najoeg.
