Shapes,  of things  before my eyes,
 Just teach  me to despise.
 Will time  make men more wise?
Here  within  my lonely frame,
 My eyes  just hurt my brain.
 But will  it seem the same?
Come  tomorrow, will  I be older?
Come  tomorrow, may  be a soldier.
Come  tomorrow, may  I be bolder than today?
Now,  the trees  are almost green.
 But will  they still be seen?
 When time  and tide have been.
Fall,  into  your passing hands.
 Please don't  destroy these lands.
 Don't make  them desert sands.
Come  tomorrow, will  I be older?
Come  tomorrow, may  be a soldier.
Come  tomorrow, may  I be bolder than today?
 x7
Soon,  I hope  that I will find,
 Thoughts deep  within my mind.
 That won't  disgrace my kind.
