Tomorrow Isn'T Promised Today

Cast away the sorrow from my soul
Make the ugliness seem so beautiful
Craft me with your eager elegance
Resurrect me with your pure radiance

My veins are flooded with the blood of my enemies
Please don't catch me off guard and set my soul at ease
My brain is whirling like a windstorm in the desert once more
The breeze of the monsoons' core has so much in store

Almost blinded by the light of His mighty hand
I take His hand and land in a lovely land 
Where I can understand 
Where I stand
Almost cascading into the watery pit of bitter lies
I take His hand and say my last goodbyes
Where I can meet my utmost highs
And my lows dries and dies
Almost falling away into the darkness below me
I take His hand, so He will set me free possibly
Where I can go way above the cold concrete
And gravity cannot weigh down my feet
Where I stand
Where I can understand
I take His hand and land in a lovely land
Almost blinded by the light of His mighty hand

Cast away yesterday, so I may live for today
Make my inner distress transform to joy I pray
Craft me with your words of wisdom right now
Reassure me that there are brighter days somehow

My veins are flooded with the blood of my enemies
Please don't catch me off guard and set my soul at ease
My brain is whirling like a windstorm in the desert once more
The breeze of the monsoons' core has so much in store

Almost blinded by the light of His mighty hand
I take His hand and land in a lovely land 
Where I can understand 
Where I stand
Almost cascading into the watery pit of bitter lies
I take His hand and say my last goodbyes
Where I can meet my utmost highs
And my lows dries and dies
Almost falling away into the darkness below me
I take His hand, so He will set me free possibly
Where I can go way above the cold concrete
And gravity cannot weigh down my feet
Where I stand
Where I can understand
I take His hand and land in a lovely land
Almost blinded by the light of His mighty hand

Endure the hardships that take place
Find a cure to help us gain His grace
End this nightmare that we all face
Ensure that happiness is here to stay,
Not just a day or night away -
Tomorrow isn't promised today
