Your tomorrow's not the same as today

I was moved to look up these lyrics. I checked out The Ultimate Kansas from the library, and the following song is on this two CD set. I've always liked this song, but now, not having heard it for a while, it has, somehow, greater meaning for me. It reminds me of someone I care deeply for, and how things in their life may have been shaped by things beyond their control.

Baby, I'm always here for you.



Hold On--
Kansas
(Kerry Livgren)


Look in the mirror and tell me
Just what you see
What have the years of your life
Taught you to be
Innocence dyin' in so many ways
Things that you dream of are lost
Lost in the haze

(Chorus)
Hold on, Baby Hold on
'Cause it's closer than you think
And you're standing on the brink
Hold on, Baby Hold on
'Cause there's something on the way
Your tomorrow's not the same as today

Don't you recall what you felt
When you weren't alone
Someone who stood by your side
A face you have known
Where do you run when it's too much to bear
Who do you turn to in need
When nobody's there

(Chorus)

Outside your door He is waiting
Waiting for you
Sooner or later you know
He's got to get through
No hesitation and no holding back
Let it all go and you'll know
You're on the right track

(Chorus)




And that's all from where I sit.
