Píseň: What Happens Tomorrow

Interpret:
Melissa Etheridge
Album:
The Awakening
I believe if I look hard enough
I will see
That there can be enough
I believe I can think clear enough
To conceive
A place where there's enough


If not now, when
If not today then
What about tomorrow
What happens tomorrow


I believe a woman can work hard and succeed
And we could be content
To believe that she could be in charge
Of the free
And be the president


If not now, when
If not today then
What happens tomorrow
What happens tomorrow
If you become the change
You want to see you change
What happens tomorrow
What happens tomorrow


I believe that we are waking up from the spell
That those that profit from the fear
Cast so well
And good people of the earth now can tell
There is no us and them


If not now, when
If not today then
What happens tomorrow
What happens tomorrow


All is love
All is choice
Everyone and every voice
All of life that you see
All are possibilities
As above so below
To wed the sense into the soul
This is truth I believe
I believe I believe


Truth is of the people
By the people 
For the people
