Analysis of Tomorrow
Tomorrow is just a memory
Of yesterday's hopes and dreams
Days are slowly passing by
Like ever flowing streams
Certainty's a thing of past
It lies not in the future
For what tomorrow holds in store
You never can be sure
Drown yourself in happiness
Do not welcome sorrow
Live today for what it's worth
Not counting on tomorrow
Tomorrow can't be lived today
For it is still unknown
Accept the past for what it was
Assured that you have grown
