Will I Live To See Tomorrow ?

A Prayer Against Terrorism

Will I live to see tomorrow
For I saw your face today
I will never let you take me
Or lose my soul in any way

I read about you in the papers
I look at the fear in your eyes
I have been on the plane of terror
In the bombs and every cry

I look at our country
In a world I will not lie
For I AM the people
I will never die

Will I live to see tomorrow
I have seen brave solders
Lose their lives
But I pray for every man and woman
Children who kneel and pray
God I will never let them take my freedom
Or give my soul away.

I hear the words of a great hockey player
As he helped his fellowman
Take back a plane
Even though he would never
See his loved ones again

I see myself in flames
Will I live to see tomorrow
For if I die, it will be in freedom's name
I may see terror, but my heart will forever live on
I AM the voice of peace,
And I will carry on.
