The Day After

The Day After
 
The day after today will come to be
My savior with an answer to my plea
A better time when all is clear and sound
When I can land with my feet
Down on the ground
 
Today is wrapped around my air supply
My sanity at risk, when nerves intensify
I’m a mad man living in a strange world
Out into space, with rocks to be hurled
 
I look for tomorrow to kiss me hello
With a warm embrace and smiles aglow
Time always evolves into something else
  Hope for the better, better for myself  
 
I’m a good man who deserves a good day
A new dawn, a new morn, a new way
I lift my chin up and look to the sky
Here I am with my confidence on high
