Greeting Tomorrow, Today
Here I thought, I would never be someone
A formless life, of which I’d never take hold
But, here I am, I see there exists
A chance for me and a ring made of gold
I am alive, I have a voice, I have power
I’ll be alright, as I have more than I knew
I have struggled, but like now I’ll overcome
Because, in me, I’ll now hold myself true
There is a light, never formless, though thought so
I needed eyes, ones I knew how to use
So now I see all the chances, tomorrows
And now my life, no, I’ll ever abuse
I am a man, I was never quite sure of
I had my doubts that success would arrive
But, here’s my chance, I did it, I made it
I’m looking forward to each day I’m alive
As all new dreams, well they’re now in focus
I’ll hone my talents; I’ll use them for sure
I’ll share myself and the gifts that were given
For all tomorrows, who knows what’s in store
