What Will Tomorrow Bring

His hands are folded softly in his lap To better handle troubles bearing down. Fortuna comes, but will she pause to rap, To offer balm or ease a troubled frown? To better handle troubles bearing down, He rises up and makes a solemn pledge To offer balm or ease a troubled frown For those, like him, just sitting on the edge. He rises up, and makes a solemn pledge. Still wondering, what will tomorrow bring For those like him, just sitting on the edge? A peace will come with fear in shackled rings. Still wondering. What will tomorrow bring? Fortuna comes but will she pause to rap? A peace will come! With fear in shackled rings His hands are folded softly, in his lap. What Will Tomorrow Bring?
