Paul McCartney has accomplished many things in his storied career as a musician, and now we can add video game composer to the list. Last month, it was announced that McCartney was scoring the new video game Destiny from Bungie and Activision (Halo) and had been working on it since 2010 with composers Mike Salvatori and Marty O'DonnellNow gamers and Beatle fans can hear the first track from the upcoming score called "Hope For The Future" (via Radio.com)

As previously reported, all the music, including this new track, was recorded with a 120-member orchestra at Abbey Road Studios led by Giles Martin, the son of former Beatles producer George Martin. Mark "Spike" Stent, who has worked with Madonna, U2, and Lady Gaga, produced the new track.

"Hope For the Future" Lyrics

Some hope for the future
some wait for the call
to say that the days ahead
will be the best of all

We will build bridges
up to the sky
heavenly light surrounding you and I

From out of the darkness
our future will come
if we leave the past behind
we'll fly beyond the sun

We'll be together
sharing the load
watching in wonder as our lives unfold

Hope for the future
It's coming soon enough
How much can we achieve?

Hope for the future
It will belong to us
if we believe
if we believe

Hope shines brightest
in the dark
where nothing's ever seen

Lighting undiscovered places
no one's ever been

Some hope for the future
some wait for the call
to say that our destiny
will be the best of all

And we will build bridges
up to the sky
heavenly light surrounding you and I

Hope shines brightest
in the dark
where nothing's ever seen

Lighting undiscovered places
no one's ever been

Hope for the future
Hope for the future
Hope for the future
