Tomorrow’s Light

                     F                               C

There’s a light, ‘t’will shine tomorrow

                        F                                                       Bb

To lead us away from the selfish trails we follow

                            F                                          C

And you’ll be there, where few have gone

                      Bb                               F   C

To find the light, and turn it on

 

But now there’s night, no path to follow

Just righteous words that in hard times seem so hollow

You seek just peace, yet you must be strong

To find the light, and turn it on

 

           C                      F                                Bb                        F      

CH: Tomorrow is further than just a calendar page away

 C                      F                               Bb                     C

   The road ahead seems to get longer every day

F                                                               Bb                           C

But you are moved by passion deep inside your soul

                Bb                                      F                Bb    F      Bb    C

To make a stand and never ever ever let it go

 

You carry signs, in silent mourning

And pray the powers will notice and heed their warnings

Too many have died, too late for your son

To find the light, and carry on

 

You must connect, (YES YOU MUST CONNECT) with the eyes of strangers (THE EYES OF STRANGERS)

To chill their bones, with TALES OF IMPENDING DANGERS

That lurk near by (THAT LURK NEARBY), ‘cause no one’s GONE

TO FIND THE LIGHT OR TURN IT ON

 

They must not think (NO THEY MUST NOT THINK) things are so bad(THEY JUST DON’T SEE IT)

But if they’re wrong, they’ll surely curse THE PATH THE’VE HAD

That sees the blight (SEES THE BLIGHT), yet steers AWAY

Tomorrow’s light, is needed today

 

CH Tomorrow is further than just a calendar page away

What comes tomorrow stems from actions of today

And peace with justice will help to light your way

You must press on and change the world every single day

 

There’s a light, ‘t’will shine tomorrow

To lead us away from the selfish trails we follow

You’ll need your friends, TO WALK ALONG

TO FIND THE LIGHT, AND TURN IT ON

Yes, you’ll need your friends (ALL YOUR FRIENDS), to walk along

TO FIND THE LIGHT, AND TURN IT ON.
