Lyrics
Tomorrow in my Heart Gary Woods
Just for a moment, as I closed my eyes and felt his breath
Burn on my bosom bare, and wished him worlds away, like death
Just in that moment as my eyes were closed I saw fresh start
I swear I saw tomorrow, saw tomorrow in my heart
I swear I saw tomorrow, saw tomorrow in my heart
Tomorrow in my heart won?t burn like breath on fire today
Tomorrow in my heart?s of love as pure as sunshine ray
Tomorrow in my heart forgives the fury in me now
Tomorrow in my heart?s about the making it, not how?
Tomorrow in my heart?s about the making it, not how?
So for that moment, as I closed my eyes to hide the shame
I dreamed tomorrow?s hopes and felt strange freedom in my chains
Small sacrifice, for as my eyes were closed I felt fresh start
I swear I saw tomorrow, saw tomorrow in my heart
I swear I saw tomorrow, saw tomorrow in my heart
Tomorrow in my heart won?t burn like breath on fire today
Tomorrow in my heart?s of love as pure as sunshine ray
Tomorrow in my heart forgives the fury in me now
Tomorrow in my heart?s about the making it, not how?
Tomorrow in my heart?s about the making it, not how?
These chains are chains of freedom if you pray my dreams come true
So join me in my prayers of hope, and every one of you
Will feel the pain in every chain begin to disappear
My chains are chains of freedom in a big new world out there
My chains are chains of freedom in a big new world out there
