When I was ten years old
I remember thinking how cool it would be
When we were going on an eight-hour drive
If I could just watch TV
And I´d have given anything
To have my own Pac-Man game at home
I used to have to get a ride down to the arcade
Now I´ve got it on my phone

Chorus:
Hey, glory, glory, hallelujah
Welcome to the future

My grandpa was in World War 2
He fought against the Japanese
He wrote a hundred letters to my grandma
Mailed them from his base in the Philippines
I wish they could see this now
The world they saved has changed you know
´Cause I was on a video chat this morning
With a company in Tokyo

Chorus:
Hey, everyday´s a revolution
Welcome to the future

Hey, look around it´s all so clear
Hey, wherever we were going, well we´re here
Hey, so many things I never thought I´d see
Happening right in front of me

I had a friend in school
Running back on the football team
They burned a cross in his front yard
For asking out the homecoming queen
I thought about him today
And everybody who´d seen what he´d seen
From a woman on a bus
To a man with a dream

Chorus:
Hey, wake up Martin Luther
Welcome to the future
Hey, glory, glory, hallelujah
Welcome to the future
