There Will Always Be A Tomorow

We too were young once,

wanderlust and lost in our own ways.

Each day just a path to the next,

time meaningless beyond the clocks.

We too knew there would always be a tomorrow;

we too were forever young.

We’re busy saving lives now,

if not for the joy of being life’s savior,

then for the joy of an endless salary.

For is a life not a life;

No matter why we save them,

no matter why they come to us?

We’re busy putting out fires now,

careless at life’s expense;

facing danger for a thrill of thrills.

For we are those immortal,

living for the smiles of a families fortune;

walking away from lives torn at the seams.

We’re busy sculpting minds now,

casting our lives away valiantly

to make the future bright.

For we could sit in the dark,

or we could rule a kingdom of youth

who will forever look at us like god.

We’re busy flying our planes now,

bringing families closer together,

while making the world more compact.

For we are the children who never grew up,

playing war in the backyards,

sacrificing our own lives for the good of a nation.

We’re busy running your country now,

making your life just a little better,

while making the world just a little safer.

For we are those that never lie,

those who never propagate or cheat;

we are those with morals.

Just like you we had fun once

but now the world is ours

and your fate lies with us.

Just like you we had fun once

But we’re busy saving the world now;

Just like we said we would.
