We're Not Promised Tomorrow

I remember when I missed everything

Blue skies, sunshine, pouring rain

Walkin’ over every Lego masterpiece

It took my boy a week to build

Taking for granted every song I heard

Falling from his lips like a little bird

Way too busy in my own world

When all I had was time to kill

Then one phone call changed it all…

We’re not promised tomorrow.

We only own what we have today.

It feels better to let go

Cause you don’t know

When it could go away

Every moment is borrowed

Every minute is a chance to find

What you lost when you

Grew up

Sold out

And left it all behind

It’s all about right here and now

We’re not promised tomorrow

Voice on the line never felt so cold

Talking ‘bout some damn test results

There’s a hole in your head and it don’t look good

Better come in right away

Three months later I can barely stand

Hair gone, looking like half a man

Watching time slipping right through my hands

And learning how to pray

And I’m way too young

To be said and done

We’re not promised tomorrow

We only own what we have today

It feels better to let go,

Cause you don’t know when it could go away

Every moment is borrowed

Every minute is a chance to find

What you lost when you grew up

Sold out

And left it all behind.

It’s all about right here and now.

We’re not promised tomorrow.

(guitar solo)

Now I can see all of those little things.

Tomorrow better make room for me.

Cause I keep praying that I might see

My boy become a man.

It’s been 19 years

And I‘m still here…

Chorus 3

We’re not promised tomorrow

We only own what we have today

It feels better to let go

Cause you don’t know when it could go away

Every moment is borrowed

Every minute is a chance to find

What you lost when you screwed up

Sold out

And left it all behind

So shout it out

Right here and now

Yeah, shout it out

Right here and now

We’re not promised tomorrow

We’re not promised tomorrow.
