Every day we profit so
Leaning toward the great unknown
Asking how it pertains to tomorrow
Aim for places we've not been
Trample paths that go between
Yesterdays foundations and tomorrow
It's the way they say it's got to be
We spear ahead and forge our destiny
Who do they represent?
Who do you believe?

Make a sound decision for others to heed
Try to set a faster pace
Try to build a master race
One that will make a contribution to tomorrow
It's the way they say it's got to be
We put aside our fears and make history

The clothes are in the dryer and the writing is on the wall
We're trying everything we can to stop this fall
Everyday we profit so
Leaning toward the great unknown

    General Comment:Tomorrow is a song about mankind's constant pursuit to find ways for progress and making their lives better.It's about how they have a eternal focus on making life better for tomorrow and forever seeking on learning about what they don't know. There are so many people that focus on bettering their own life and don't care about anyone else but themselves'try to set a faster pace, try to build a master race, one that will make a contribution to tomorrow.' A lot of society loses sight of what is really important as they conform to the norms of religious prescriptions and live their life in the pursuit of following 'god' and gaining knowledge about a being that has no vestige and who's knowledge about it is unattainable. They forget what truly matters here and now on earth-not 'god' but unity, anarchy, nonconformity, the revolution. This song is about man's ever constant need to progress for tomorrow instead of making the world better.
