Tomorrow, tomorrow,
I’m wond’ring today
Will they sing our songs tomorrow
In this land, the U.S.A.
Oh, I know they’ll sing them someday,
Those who fight for liberty.
Will our songs be sung tomorrow
In this land that they call free?
(chorus)
Now is the time
Now is the day
Now is the hour
No more delay
Let’s build a peaceful world
And get it right away, not tomorrow,
But today.
Tomorrow, tomorrow,
I’m wond’ring today
Will we walk the streets tomorrow
In fear of what we say?
Oh I know that we’ll talk someday
And say what we darn please,
Will we walk the streets tomorrow
And scrape and bow our knees?
(chorus)
Tomorrow, tomorrow,
I’m wond’ring today
Will the bombs rain down tomorrow
Where little children play?
Oh we know Peace will come someday
It’s up to me and you
There’ll be no bombs tomorrow
But a world that’s bright and new.
(chorus)
~ Jerry Atinsky, U.S., mid 20th century
