tomorrow we ll be gone

Alexz Johnson

If I told that tonight they d fly me to the moon
If my words could fix the water
and the tears that fill their bottles
If I had the gift to heal
make somebody feel the way I want them to

If fireworks went off each time someone professed their love
If money grew some trees for everyone who s so in need
If the power s all that be
could fix the wars and calm the seas
Just like we ve told them to

Someone always says Hallellujah!
Someone always says What s it to ya?
But these voices in my head been running way too long
And if we stay right here, tomorrow we ll be gone

If I won the Pulitzer Prize and made history
If my future children s college was all paid for by the city
If they grow up to be wise, voted for their rights
Yeah, that d be all right!

If I never make it quite to where I want to be
If I don t fulfill my journal s childhood prophecies
If it ends on some ungodly hour
strips us all from all our power
And sets us free

Someone always says Hallellujah!
And someone always says What s it to ya?
But these voices in my head been running way too long
And if we stay right here, tomorrow we ll be gone

Tomorrow we ll be gone
(Tomorrow we ll be gone)
Tomorrow we ll be gone
(Tomorrow we ll be gone)
Tomorrow we ll be gone
(Tomorrow we ll be gone)
Tomorrow we ll be gone
(Tomorrow we ll be gone)
(Tomorrow we ll be gone)

Somewhere someone s thankful they can breathe again
Someone out there thinks their life
is not even worth breathing in
Moving through the world s debris
We all face the day that we decide to swim

Someone always says Hallellujah!
And someone always says What s it to ya?
But these voices in my head been running way too long
And if we stay right here, tomorrow we ll be gone

Tomorrow we ll be gone
Tomorrow we ll be gone

Tomorrow we ll be gone
Tomorrow we ll be gone
Tomorrow we ll be gone
Tomorrow we ll be gone
Tomorrow we ll be gone
Tomorrow we ll be gone
Tomorrow we ll be gone
