Tomorrow is a Brand New Day

Tomorrow is a Brand New Day

by Matthew Havertz

Tomorrow is a brand new day!

Consistently I like to say,

“I can restart! I can make my mark,

“Really embark, really do my part!”

For tomorrow is a brand new day!

So different is tomorrow’s ground!

I really love that hopeful sound.

Today is late. Greater joys await

Tomorrow’s fate. Then I will go straight!

For different is tomorrow’s ground!

I tell myself tomorrow’s kind,

But never find within my mind

Her open gate. I procrastinate.

Danger’s my fate when I choose to wait

And tell myself tomorrow’s kind.

My days become all yesterdays

Because I wait for the somedays—

For a Sunday, for a fresh new week,

A fresh new year, till I see the peak!

My days become all yesterdays

No more. No more! The truth is clear.

The future is no longer near.

The time is here! Oh, can you hear?

I’ll steer my fear to the rearview mirror.
No more. No more! The truth is clear.

Tomorrow’s gone. I’ll right the wrong.

The moment’s now! Yes, the very second.
