Zach Mitchell Poet Lyric

Look To Tomorrow

Do you ever dream 
Of what used to be
Do you ever look around
Feeling pushed underground

I can’t help but look to the sky to see
Memories giving glimpses of what used to be
They tell me don’t look to the past
Innocence will never last

So I ask
Why should I look to tomorrow
If it’s just another day of sorrow
What’s wrong with looking to the past
Where the love of home would always last

I see so much hate and greed
Never thinking of what we need
A world so full of lust
Love’s become a word never to trust

Girls craving for love each and every day
Enough to give themselves away
Losing the dream of the princess
Dreaming of the perfect kiss

Men are told to become the man
To do whatever they can
So they chase after lust and greed
Forgetting what they really need
What happened to prince charming
Fighting the dragon to win his perfect darling

So I ask
Why should I look to tomorrow
If it’s just another day of sorrow
What’s wrong with looking to the past
Where the love of home would always last

This world never gives a moment for silence 
Never giving time to see life’s diamonds
What if we stopped worrying about tomorrow
And prayed for wisdom to follow
Feels like we’ve lost the love of God
Living life trusting in our flaws

Maybe I want to stand out
Maybe I want to speak up
Jesus said to let the children in
They all came with smiling grins
I want a heart of a child
Let innocence run wild

So I ask
Why should I look to tomorrow
If it’s just another day of sorrow
What’s wrong with looking to the past
Where the love of home would always last
