The future seems bleak because of how dark today is, can’t seem to get the worries o my chest.
Tomorrow draws closer and my heart sinks deeper;

What if I don’t make it?
What if I got it all wrong?
I was wrong to hope,
or believe that tomorrow would be better;

Today is here,
but not the tomorrow I expected,
A beautiful tomorrow seems like a fairytale, Maybe just lies to keep us going;

The future seems bleak because of how dark today is, can’t seem to get the worries o my chest,
As tomorrow draws closer, my heart sinks deeper;

Until I get to a place where I can find happiness, there’ll never be a beautiful tomorrow.
What if something unexpected happens?
Then there will be NO tomorrow;

Means my whole life
would have been an expectant mess.
Well then, I’ll decide to stop waiting for tomorrow, because today is now,
and yesterday was my tomorrow.

I’ll never find a place where happiness lives,
You know what they say...
Happiness isn’t a place or a time,
Happiness ought to be wherever I go,
If I cannot be happy today,
I may never be happy,

If something unexpected happens
And my beautiful tomorrow never comes,
At least I’ll know
That my life was a happy one;

Every moment and every experience has its beauty
Tomorrow is not a specific time or place.
We all want that “future” when we will be happy...

I have come to learn,
that tomorrow isn’t a time or place where all your problems disappear and you have nothing to worry about;

Tomorrow is now,
The happiness you seek lies deep within you Let it find expression!
