1Tomorrow
Tragedy's arrow spun and spun,
And landed on the province of SiChuan
Buildings crumbled, lives dissipated
Why was this calamity prewritten and harshly fated?
Barricaded by policemen, a father felt so helpless
Being told that his son's body was found, lifeless
The middle-aged woman who could not live on
Knowing her beloved husband is forever gone
Someone you always took for granted
Now in your heart deeply planted
The "thank you" and "sorry" you were reluctant to say
Will never make it to them, no matter how hard you pray
Deprived of shelter, deprived of love
Hoping your loved ones are tranquil above
A permanent scar that will forever remain
In these hearts, filled with unparalleled pain
But miracles do happen and survivors are found
With a weak smile, they'll walk forward, homebound
With generous donations, even a penny or a dime
Sichuan will be rebuilt, one step at a time
Tears will storm, hearts will feel
But one day our hearts will heal
Hand in hand, we'll surpass the pain and sorrow
Heads held high, we'll leap towards a bright tomorrow!
