Ten years from now, where will I be?
What will I do? Who will I see?
What will I look like? What will I say?
Will I still be the same as today?
Will I still have the same goals in mind?
The same thoughts, ambitions, treasures to find.

The answer is clear to those of some age.
From one to another, call it a stage.
Gradually changing from year to year
What you once heard you no longer hear.
What you once said you no longer say
The friends once held dear have now gone away.

New things the future does hold
Surprises in store, a person to mould.
A gradual process of changing indeed
You'll hardly remember you'll have no need.
There's no time for the past in the future somehow
But it still leaves you wondering about ten years from now
