Don’t trust today until tomorrow comes

Don’t trust today until tomorrow comes for time changes yesterday,

Don’t trust the leaves that fall, the bright colors of autumn,

Don’t trust the pep in your step, the color on your cheeks,

Don’t trust the skipping of your heart,

Don’t trust the voice that says, “I will never leave you”,

Don’t trust today until tomorrow comes.

2.

When the dust settles today,

Truth will out about yesterday,

Whatever this moment says,

Don’t trust it today until it echoes tomorrow,

Louder, stronger, unwavering in its message, unshaken in its stance,

Don’t trust today until tomorrow comes,

For time changes yesterday and it is not all bad.
