life begins tomorrow
by Raj Arumugam
when life begins tomorrow
you’ll wait for sunrise
and you’ll say life’s like a new day
with sun rays and roses
I wouldn’t mind having a few, you’d say
and when life begins tomorrow
you’d be waiting with test instruments
like a child entering cold water
or a nervous team on an expedition
life begins tomorrow
and you’ll wonder about all yesterdays
and inscribe all past glories
and hope for future days
life begins tomorrow
and you’ll be taking snapshots
and posing between trees and observe
the light does not bring out the best
life begins tomorrow
and you’ll immortalize the past
and romance the future
and wait in anticipation of all coming days
for life begins, as you know, tomorrow
