Who I Am Tomorrow

i came into this world with tears and broken heart
spent a few years getting on my feet
fell down a couple times, lost love, and saw sorrow
every day theres a new person I become, who will i be tomorrow?
still myself despite wearing nothing
material can be lost but ill always have something
Fill me up with love other wise im certain to be hollow
every day theres a new person I become, who will i be tomorrow?
if I get too deep, I had taught myself to swim
near death experiences strengthen my sea leg and limb
for if I never was humbled, or hurt, I might be shallow
every day theres a new person I become, who will i be tomorrow?
scrars for calendars, memories for pleasure
Pictures in my mind I try to measure in a million letters
grow until my fields are fallow, only light left to follow
every day theres a new person I become, who will i be tomorrow?
