Michael Degenhardt Poet Lyric

Shades of Tomorrow

I look upon the landscape
The life that I own
With filters that I see through
Little light’s shone

I’d sacrifice my existence
For a shot at success
When all I really want
Is what’s really best

But then comes the light
I see clearly this night
I’m not losing my rights
For new…

Shades of tomorrow
Color my soul
Cascading sorrow
Fell out of control
I look for an answer 
In a sky full of rain
But then comes tomorrow
A chance once again

My feet are now failing me
As I walk alone
The landscape's a distance
But, remains still my home

I only wish that someone
Somewhere will see
I look for my new future
For my soul to set free

But then comes the light
I see clearly this night
I’m not losing my rights
For new…

Shades of tomorrow
Color my soul
Cascading sorrow
Fell out of control
I look for an answer 
In a sky full of rain
But then comes tomorrow
A chance once again
