TAKE ME TO TOMORROW
Take me to tomorrow,
Take me there today.
Past has been a failure,
Let future be mine.
I don’t want to lament
What I have wasted.
But I want to preserve
What can still be saved.
Life is too short, in fact.
Let’s forget the past.
Let’s live fully each day,
And the next to come.
I want my tomorrow,
And I want it now.
How you give I don’t know,
I want it somehow.
