Sing for Me

I was moving around like a modern-day rocket
When this old man, he comes up to me
He looked tired and worn, had dark rings around his sockets
And he spoke very gracefully

He said, "There was a time I was just like you
You might say I'm a hero
There was a time I could touch the new
Now I'm back to zero"

Please sing for me
Once I belonged to the future
Please sing for me
I have to bring this world along
I was once so strong

Well, I faced that old man and said, "You must be crazy
What's become of your hopes for mankind?
There are things in my life that I'll never realize
'Cause your fears have all become mine"

This is my time, I won't be like you
Don't pretend I'm your savior
This is my time, I must start anew
Do me one last favor

Please sing for me
'Cause I belong to the future
Please sing for me
I've got to bring this world along
I must be strong, yeah

Please sing for me
'Cause I belong to the future
Please sing for me
I've got to bring this world along
I must be strong, yeah

Please sing for me
'Cause I belong to the future
Please sing for me
I've got to bring this world along

Please sing for me
Sing for me
Sing for me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Please sing for me
Sing for me
'Cause I belong to the future
Please sing for me
Please sing for me
Please sing for me
