Today looks like yesterday
And pretty much like tomorrow
Overflowing with pain and hate
Filled with regret and sorrow
No resolution in sight
Self love and unforgiving souls
Block the way to hope
Apathy is too happy to play all our roles
This can't be the only way to live
Just can't see another way to breathe
The Fear infects all our lives
Blinds us to each other's redemption
What if this or what if that
The signs along the road to perdition
This can't be the only way to live
Just can't see another way to breathe
What if I said to you
'There's a way out of this cesspool,
It isn't very far away
What if I promised you
a warm forgiving tomorrow
shorn of hate and anger
The secret simply is
Breathe a little love
Give a little more
And think of forgiveness
in your life, oh life
in our lives
Revenge is our only currency
It's got the highest rate of interest
But there are no returns
Save enough to get your free tempest
See your bags all packed
Shirts of anger, slacks of regret
Storm out and slam the door
Pain's picture in your back pocket
This can't be the only way to live
Just can't see another way to breathe
What if I said to you
'There's a way out of this cesspool,
It isn't very far away
What if I promised you
a warm forgiving tomorrow
shorn of hate and anger
The secret simply is
Breathe a little love
Give a little more
And think of forgiveness
in your life, oh life
in our lives

Hey, beautiful one Daef! Meep on!
By the way, when I woke up this morning I thought it was Monday 28 May. Now that I'm back from a meeting and logged on, I see that your posting says Tues 29 May. For a moment there I thought I lost a day from my clients' office to my office. Then I read your first lines:
"Today looks like yesterday
And pretty much like tomorrow ..."
Aaah... je comprends, mon ami...hence the date is tomorrow's ..very de clever one Daef...
