WHO I’LL BE TOMORROW

If what I am, 

And what I do, 

Makes me who I’ll be tomorrow, 

If what I say, 

And what I don’t, 

Makes me who I’ll be tomorrow, 

If what I think, 

With heartfelt wisdom, 

Makes me who I’ll be tomorrow, 

If what I see, 

And what I feel, 

Makes me who I’ll be tomorrow, 

If what I speak, 

Be it right or wrong, 

Makes me who I’ll be tomorrow, 

If I am ugly, 

To those I love, 

Makes me who I’ll be tomorrow, 

If I could dare, 

To hide a sin, 

Makes me who I’ll be tomorrow, 

If I only take, 

And never give, 

Makes me who I’ll be tomorrow, 

I’ll have to stop and look at 

Who I want to be tomorrow!
