We Are Alive


Yesterday is a cancelled check,

All my troubles seemed so far away,

But yesterday is a fabric of our past.

Yesterday was a journey,

But our problems are here to stay.

 

Today is a hike over a mountain.

It is the only cash I have to succeed.

I’ll burn my eyes out,

I may not be able to get out.

Today is about sacrifice.

 

Tomorrow is a promissory note,

Some say it is never too late,

The world would have saw him as a hero,

If he had lived tomorrow,

There was a mountain of things he could have taught,

But it was too late,

And so you gotta hang on,

‘Til tomorrow and no one should be kinder or brave than tomorrow.
