I'd figured it out, it hit me at once
The blow hadn't faded yet
But I knew who I would become
I let them go, the cold calculations
They judged me from the back
But I did not follow the signs
In the future when I'm all grown up, I'll be who I am (oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh)
In the future if I recognize myself, I'll know who I am (oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh)
It was in there but it would not come out
The waiting for the day
I knew that I could not force it
I touched, that of which I dreamed of
I did not know what I was seeing
Until I saw that I had to sing
In the future when I'm all grown up, I'll be who I am (oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh)
In the future if I recognize myself, I'll know who I am (oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh)
I am alone, how could it be different, I still know what I sought
It's the future now
And around me, everything is different
But I still recognise that boy
It's the future now (oh oh oh oh)
It's the future now (oh oh oh oh)
The future is now (oh oh oh oh)
It's the future now (oh oh oh oh)
The future is now (oh oh oh oh)
In the future when I'm all grown up, I'll be who I am (oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh)
In the future if I recognize myself, I'll know who I am (oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh)
In the future when I'm all grown up, I'll be who I am (oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh)
In the future if I recognize myself, I'll know who I am (oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh)
