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
