Tomorrows Not Promised

Tomorrows not promised, we can’t deny
Today is a fleeting dance
And at times we get a fragile chance
To touch one of life’s tender threads


Tomorrows not promised, we can’t deny
But we can grasp the hands of time
Halt the endless march and climb
Of an uncertain lost life


Tomorrows not promised, we can’t deny
But at times we understand the fragility of humankind
We can stop, grasp and find
A world of hope and promise


Tomorrows not promised, we can’t deny
Laughter can’t be silenced by the fear
That the end of today is near
And times cruel hand has stolen youth


Tomorrows not promised, we can’t deny
But with every sunset there is a story untold
Of a day full of silver and gold
Before the cold of the night descends


Tomorrows not promised, we can’t deny
Promises once made hang in empty air
And we hear cries of despair
When we recall the past


Tomorrows not promised, we can’t deny
In tears that fall like silent rain
We mourn the loss, the ache, the pain
Of days that just passed without notice


Tomorrows not promised, we can’t deny
So, hold the ones you love dear
Cherish every moment, draw then near
As the shadows of tomorrow appears.
