I Have Seen The Future

Composed in the 1970s, recorded in the 1980s. This is, so far, the only religious song I’ve ever written, though I have composed several of a spiritual nature. One of my earliest compositions, I wrote this back around 1970 when my parents had taken a path toward a more active Christian belief. It was an age where young folks everywhere were questioning traditional values, and I found myself wanting to simultaneously embrace the faith of my parents while still incorporating my own evolving spirituality. The result is this song designed to be both obscure enough to avoid retracing tired old ground and also the cast a slight sci-fi tone to the journey of an unnamed seeker of Truth, as I was heavily into epic science fiction at the time. Perhaps you can find your own path reflected here.
