Tomorrow

I hear a voice crying out from the bellies of their mommas

Hold on for today don't worry about tomorrow

Though the rains of today seem to fall with sorrow

Let me be and we'll see this life for tomorrow

I hear a cry going out in the middle of the night

Under the scatter of the stars from a voice cracked with fright

And as the tears stripe cheeks from pain running south

The taste of salt hits the corner of her mouth

Resting on tied toungues with no breath left to speak

Sick of throwing up with no bread left to eat

Tired and confused from disillusionment

Sunny days turn to grey and away he went

Ripping the hooks out your heart from the promises at dark

The words found their mark as the sheets came apart

Every spoken word broken

As he flipped you a token

Kiss on the cheek as his feet found the open door

What's in store for you he didn't question

Shook his burden to the floor to leave you guessing

About the future and what it will unfold

But you're still standing there rockin' it so bold like

[CHORUS x2]

Holding on these songs of hope

I cannot sing them without you

Holding on, holding on

You can't just point a finger and say it's alright

Make a trip downtown and put it out of sight

Because two came together so strong one night

And two wrongs don't make one right

Giving a voice to the voiceless saying it's choiceless

'Cause they're priceless my princess

I feel the kicks and the churns give me a turn

And a shot at this world to fight the fight

To beat my plight and let my light shine

In this dark time with all its ways of wearing crime

And let this world drown in these ultrasounds

Hearing this heart beats speak sweet so profound

From beat down to higher ground

Where hope abounds with love that astounds

Les Miserables this ain't no miserable daughter

Calling you Cossette 'cause God will be your father

[CHORUS x2]

Holding on these songs of hope

I cannot sing them without you

Holding on, holding on
