[Intro]
\n[Instrumental Intro: Gentle Piano, Warm Acoustic Guitar, Organ Pad, Soft Strings, Heartbeat Bass, Light Drums]<\/p>\n

[Minimal Beat, Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
\nThis generation…<\/p>\n

…writes a letter…<\/p>\n

…to the next.
\n(Perplexed)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nTo my children’s children’s children
\n(I hope you can begin again)
\nSeven generations
\n(Relations’ foundations)<\/p>\n

The evolution
\n(Of solution)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nNot just money left behind
\nBut fresh air and peace of mind
\nNot just property or gold
\nBut stories waiting to be told<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nChildren’s children’s children
\n(Beyond our names)
\nLiving futures
\n(Not just dreams)<\/p>\n

Seven generations
\n(Looking back)
\nWondering if
\n(We stayed on track)<\/p>\n

The evolution
\n(Of solution)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nTo my children’s children’s children
\n(I hope you can begin again)
\nSeven generations
\n(Relations’ foundations)<\/p>\n

The evolution
\n(Of solution)<\/p>\n

[Instrumental]
\n[Guitar Solo]
\n[Warm Organ, Flowing Bass, Piano Arpeggios, Steady Drums]<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nThe question isn’t only heat
\nOr every record that we beat
\nThe deeper question still remains
\nWhat world survives beyond our names?<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nAn estate…
\n(Is more than things)
\nIt’s the future
\n(That kindness brings)<\/p>\n

The greatest wealth
\n(We’ll ever see)
\nIs possibility.<\/p>\n

[Breakdown]
\n[Minimal Beat, Deep Sub Bass, Spoken Vocal]
\nThe ultimate inheritance…<\/p>\n

…is opportunity.<\/p>\n

Not certainty.<\/p>\n

Simply…<\/p>\n

…a chance…<\/p>\n

…to begin again.<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nTo my children’s children’s children
\n(I hope you can begin again)
\nSeven generations
\n(Relations’ foundations)<\/p>\n

The evolution
\n(Of solution)<\/p>\n

Children’s children’s children
\n(May they always know)<\/p>\n

We loved them…<\/p>\n

…before…<\/p>\n

… their birth on Earth.<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\n[Instrumental Outro: Piano, Acoustic Guitar, Organ Fade, Children’s Voices in the Distance, Gentle Wind]
\nTo my children’s children’s children
\n(I hope you can begin again)
\nSeven generations
\n(Relations’ foundations)<\/p>\n

The evolution
\n(Of solution)
\nTo my children’s…<\/p>\n

Children’s…<\/p>\n

Children…<\/p>\n

This view…<\/p>\n

Is for you.<\/p>\n

About the Song: Universal Estate Plan for the Next Seven Generations
\nThe ultimate estate plan is remarkably simple:
\nTo my children\u2019s children\u2019s children.<\/p>\n

The greatest inheritance most of us hope to leave is not a larger bank account. It is the chance for our descendants to raise children of their own, watch them grow, and someday become grandparents themselves.<\/p>\n

The question is no longer: How hot is the planet warming?<\/p>\n

The more important question is:
\n\u201cHow difficult do we want life to be for the next seven generations?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUniversal Estate Plan: What Are the Chances Your Descendants Will Inherit a Habitable World?<\/a>\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
