No Thought for the Morrow

by Thomas Anderson

from the album Heaven

Old man lying in an ICU,

Loved ones around him weep;

He smiles at something far away

That nobody else can see.

Soldier dying in a foreign land,

All blood and smoke and tears,

All of the shock and the fear subsides

And the pain just disappears.

Take no thought for the morrow,

No thought for the morrow,

Take no thought for the morrow

O my friend.

There are lights on the horizon

Just over the rise,

And we'll be home by morning

With the stars in our eyes.

I dreamed I died and to Heaven I flew,

All the stars and planets I passed;

I jumped and laughed and barefoot ran

Through the green, green grass.

So Michael row the boat ashore,

Sister trim the sail,

We will find and place and time

Where evil can't prevail.

Yeah there's gonna come a day,

I see it in my mind,

We're gonna fly away

And leave this bullshit behind.

Take no thought for the morrow,

No thought for the morrow,

Take no thought for the morrow

O my friend.
