I Do Not Know What Tomorrow Will Bring

I do not know what tomorrow will bring But today, oh today, just let us sing Songs of life and all its creative potential We are spirits born of something truly transcendental In the world, not as one, together we all live We feel the pain, we feel the joy; we take and we give Some are bad, some are worse, but we share the same soul To see past form, the transparency of life, some strive for this goal We are alive, not then and there, but here and now But perception blinds us; only seeing what it will allow We have so much more locked deep inside We mustn’t be afraid, we have nothing to hide For all hopes and sins are shared; part of the human condition If we do not strive to grow, we will fight a war of endless attrition Arrested development; so much potential gone unnoticed We live in our habits and regret moments missed If we go inside and nurture that strength We can be calm in the storm, no matter the length Discover what brings this out of you Because it’s through action that makes this true
