IF TOMORROW COMES!

IF TOMORROW COMES!

 

If tomorrow comes, yes I desire

A trip with nostalgia, much I relish

A past so beautiful, yet dreadful

Combining sweat and sour, I reminisce

Events I submitted to, kudos my weakness

A stir within me cried to be liberated

A cucumber cool resonance, whispered my ears

If tomorrow comes

Your sun will set and shine

 Only if tomorrow comes

My hopes anchor lays in rest.

 

Today’s travails, challenges existence

An existence so drained up, yet willing to stand

The conditions are rash

Rash is the condition

Rugged survival, instinct fuel a dogged resolve

Even with a picture, yet so gloomy

As in a silver lining, I see a boom

This vision, I plant and water

Hope rising, the coast will be clear

If tomorrow comes, our travails will unveil

Indeed the future, roots in a tomorrow

A dream, enabled by faith.

 

If tomorrow comes, a beggar’s wish is become horse

If tomorrow comes, dreams become a truth

A future reigns, if tomorrow comes.

 The color of hope is, if tomorrow comes

If tomorrow comes, I be all I can be

My best is yet preserved, if tomorrow comes

If tomorrow comes, a world becomes better a place

 

What if tomorrow never comes?


Because he lives, I can face a tomorrow

Of a truth, my redeemer lives

I will not make a thought of it

Yes! It will cater for it self

My tomorrow is come to stay

Truly! Tomorrow will cater for me

If tomorrow comes, as he wills.
