The Future is Bright is embodied by the songs, “The Youth” by acclaimed group MGMT and “Moment in Time” by Musiq Soulchild featuring Kindred the Family Soul and Cee-lo. Below are the lyrics.

The Youth – MGMT – Oracular Spectacular

This is a call of arms to live and love and sleep together
We could flood the streets with love or light or heat whatever
Lock the parents out, cut a rug, twist and shout
Wave your hands
Make it rain
For stars will rise again

The youth is starting to change
Are you starting to change?
Are you?
Together

In a couple of years
Tides have turned from booze to tears
And in spite of the weather
We could learn to make it together

The youth is starting to change
Are you starting to change?
Are you?
Together

The youth

Moment In Time – Musiq – Soulstar

Have you ever had a day when
Nothing goes your way
All you do seems to be in vain
And everything is just a waste of your time

[Chorus]

But have you ever had that moment in life
When everything is cool (yeah)
didn’t have to worry about the time
It all went as it should
And you were having the greatest moment in left (yeah)

don’t you worry about the past cause
Its gonna be what it is
All that you can do is try to
Make your future beautiful
And let it be the greatest moment in life

I rember almost every December when we were critters
And mama said that there was only one thing she could get us
When God must have been with us
Cause it is heavenly joy
When you wake up Christmas morning to every toy
Then theres the birth of my boy
Here to inherit the rhythm
And when I see it in him I ask myself what more can I give him
And I would love to but I cant spend every moment with him
Its just those big ole eyes that encourage me to keep living
Hey, ooh when im singing im sharing
Or rhyming im shining my light
And although the love is so blinding I still end up finding my wife
All I can do is reminisce cause there eyes no rewinding my life
But the futures so bright that its almost blinding

Its like all a sudden your life is so cool
Cause everything in it is working for you
Your friends and your family are getting along
It feels like when you hear your favorite song
Or when you know that you got money to spend
You never want that moment to end (repeat)
