Tomorrow
The days go quickly by us,
Then the days turn into years
We wonder what ever happened
To all our dreams and fears.
We always thought tomorrow
Would be a better day
To start things that we would do
To make life go our way
But suddenly the time is gone
Tomorrows no more.
The time has come to answer
As we stand before our Lord.
May we always be ready
For what we are to say
Let's make all our tomorrows
Better than our yesterdays.
