Tomorrow

It's my country's 56th Indy Celebration.
I can see tomorrow more clearly than I see today.

Tomorrow;

I can’t not wait for it to come up

I reach out to the fullness of my cause and take hold

And erase the present like chalk writing in a storm.

Tomorrow

I perfect my kingdom come

I set my sights on unebbing tides bearing better things

Calling out to promises dressed up in work-clothing.

Tomorrow

I’m a changed man with a changed plan in a changed land

Counting my trophies right before the final whistle blows

Totally unflustered by the ashes of today’s smolder.

My tomorrow

Far outweighs anything that defines my today,

I don’t have to believe it it’s what I know,

For the labors of heroes past shall never be in vain.
