Tomorrow People

Tomorrow People

I planted a single seed left long ago
 In time roots sprung up out of the fertile soil
 In the game of life your time is very brief
 try turning over a brand new leaf

 many people today seem so very out of reach
 these are desolate times yet we settle for ill faded rhymes
 casualties are enormous for a stated cause that's atrocious 
 a mothers cry as the door bell rings

 vanishing salute to freedom as the church choir sings
 let's look above to the heavenly love
 merciful one come take this chip off my shoulder
 stop the senseless fighting as our nation grows a bit colder

 Tomorrow let's pray for better days
 instead of people getting caught in a purple haze
 eyes, face & hands
 when will we ever live to understand

 you can't stand in line while kicking it to the man
 how you have fought so hard & fierce
 my truest love is gone from here
 a challenge to be free is a question of time

 Tomorrow people will achieve if one can perceive
 it's more then a philosophical rant
 one must succumb to the business at hand
 hopefully someday all will understand

 for love is the true essence of one's inner existence
 a beacon of light to a hurting world in need of hope
 hope that can evoke feelings of positivity
 in a land so full of their negativity
