lyrics

The future is a woman
With her head held high
And a afro on her shoulders
Reaching up for the sky

And the knowledge of her people
Is filling up her mind
She understand manipulation
Won’t fall for it this time

An era evolution
Are you part of it’s might?
You invited to the party.
But you better step right….

At the center is a love
It will be different this time
We are here to imagine
What the future looks like

We are here to imagine
What that could look like
We are here to imagine
What that could look like
We are here to imagine, imagine, imagine

The future is a man who
Knows his feminine side
He doesn’t feel diminished
When he hurts or he cries

Binary is always trouble
Polarize us in our struggle
We are greater than our bubbles
Who you are, you define.

While we here we do the work
To alchemize our pain and hurt
Beyond the limits of our minds
To what the future looks like

We are here to imagine
What that could look like
We are here to imagine
What that could look like
We are here to imagine, imagine, imagine

What you cannot dream, you can’t make into reality
What you cannot dream, you can’t make into reality

We are here to imagine
What that could look like
We are here to imagine
What that could look like
We are here to imagine, imagine, imagine
