Sometimes, when I think
as I'm in bed at night,
It seems like the future
might be a fright.
I have no idea
about any of the things
That are waiting down the road:
what the future brings.
What jobs will I have?
What places will I see?
Will I find a good husband?
Will my friends still like me?
It just seems so vast
out there in the world,
But it's all open to me
like a flag unfurled.
I can choose what I want;
I can make my own path;
I can be who I am;
Nothing's out of my grasp.
So I look to the future
with confidence now,
For I know I can make it;
I'll figure out how!
And the next time I lie down
and start thinking of things,
I smile as I look forward
to what the future brings!
