The World We Build Tomorrow

from Working With Your Hands by Trevor Clawson

/

lyrics

When all this is over
Will anything have changed?
Will we step out from our houses
And find the pieces rearranged
Will write a brand new story
Sing a brand new song
Or will we play the same old blues again
And keep on keeping on

We've been living through a real bad dream
And some say that it’s time
We listened to the wake-up call
And changed our way of life
When we seize that brave new morning
When everything’s in play
Will the world we build tomorrow
Be better than today
Will tomorrow's world be better than today

We've been living through some hard times
It's been tough some days and slow
But there are people living in your town
Hard times are all they've ever known

Working two jobs maybe three jobs
Never seem to makes end meet
And there’s always someone saying
That’s the way it has to be

We've been living through a real bad dream
All dreams come to an end
So we call our friends and talk about
The better times ahead
When we seize that brave new morning
When everything’s in play
Will the world we build tomorrow
Be better than today
Will tomorrow's world be better than today

And if there is a God up in the sky
Looking down on me and you
I think that all your God would say
Is “look after one another Your sisters and your brothers
That's all I've ever asked you folks to do
