Lyrics
Today and Tomorrow
Words adapted by Scott Badger from the writings of Max More
Music written, produced and performed by Scott Badger
We are positive.
We are dynamic.
We seek to realize our ideals
rather than endure an unfulfilling life
sustained by fantasies. We direct our energies
enthusiastically moving toward our vision.
In this world, today and tomorrow
In this world, today and tomorrow
We can't just have faith
and hope things work out fine
and pray that someone else
solves all our problems just in time.
We're self-empowering
and we're self-assured.
We choose to take charge and
create our future.
In this world, today and tomorrow
In this world, today and tomorrow
Living vigorously, effectively,
and joyfully.
Exploring possibilities …
mmm, responsibly.
propelled with energy into activity,
meeting confidently
tomorrow's opportunities.
In this world, today and tomorrow
In this world, today and tomorrow
So what to do?
Learn from your mistakes.
Just be alert. Just strive to create
solutions now. Refuse to whine.
Never give up. There's too little time.
In this world, today and tomorrow
In this world, today and tomorrow
We're moving
Forward ... Upward ... Outward ... Onward
Forward ... Upward ... Outward ... Onward
Forward ... Upward ... Outward ... Onward
Forward ... Upward ... Outward ... Onward
