Counting On Tomorrow

Ever in a stupor the rights are all wrong
I tried to keep up but still my mind's gone
I never made a promise that I could not keep
If that's the truth, then why do I weep
My mama left us but then she came back not what she was but an effort at that
Now daddy won't forgive her and neither will she
And neither can we

Maybe that's why I weep
So I'm counting on tomorrow
Just like I did yesterday
I'm counting on tomorrow
Cause I just can't seem to face the day
My brother said everything would be fine
Stick to the path, don't show out of line
My path laid splayed maybe that is me
Perhaps there's no forgiving maybe that's why I weep
Maybe one of these days the rain will stop falling one of these days I'll find a way to give
If one of these days don't come maybe I won't take it
Then again, maybe one of these days might teach me

The proper way to live
And I don't want to keep on complaining cause I don't want to bring you all down
You find the paradox of your problem not even you
Wants you around

So I'm counting on tomorrow Just like I did yesterday
I'm counting on tomorrow cause I just can't seem
To face the day
