Blind to the future


A timeline is the past

Many wonderful memories and tragedies

Philosophies

Things that happened way back when

Things that can happen then again

 

A timeline is the present

Time to make some more memories

Anything can happen at any time

Take a bow

 

Remember what happens here and now

Things that happened today

In their own very special way

 

A timeline is the future

People predict, people assume

Things that might happen in the far away June

Things that could happen tomorrow

Try not to drown in your sorrow

 

Times that come together to be out on a line

Maybe this is a sign

You know what happened yesterday

You know what is happening now

But do you know what will happen tomorrow?

 

Every day is a new one

And you don’t know what to expect

So expect the least expected

 

You don’t know what will happen until it does

So just be patient because

It could surprise you

More than you ever thought it would

 

Mysteries

Tragedies

Memories

Philosophies

 

It’s the past, so forget about it.

It’s the present, so remember it

It’s the future, so hope for it.

 

Times that come together to be out on a line

Maybe this is a sign

You know what happened yesterday

You know what is happening now

But do you know what will happen tomorrow?
