When tomorrow came
We were the awakening songs of Princes,
The sweet wine of a wise emperor
See children dancing with her anthem
The young men are completely drunk in his delight
And the elderly, they open their mouths in awe;
The candor of our surge and swell
When tomorrow came
We were birds in Rehoboth;
Freed from the cage of Esek and Sitnah
Many lessons, many tears and wounds a year brings
Many blessings, many gains and worlds crumbled
Adieu, the blues that chained the soul of the nations
You made us cry, you emptied the hearts of joyful men,
You depleted the pockets of the merchant, you threw a century
Old legacy into the unknown, you untwine the fabric of unity
And like a rug; we were a laughing stock to the nations
When tomorrow came,
T’was the lessons yesterday taught us
That made us stronger and better.
I have seen this before, (my soul said) i
Have seen that before, I have touch this and that before;
My eyes have become wiser, and our souls have matured
Into a good soldier; resilient, unfazed, agile, and cunning
When tomorrow came
I told myself not to live in yesterday, but only in the wisdom of yesterday
I told myself, I told my friends, I told my family, that yesterday; we’d planted
Today, we will harvest what we had distributed into the soils of our hearts
They are a delight, those who listened to my words and ate it like the pilgrim’s loaf
When tomorrow came
We were an effulgence of an eternal ordination
Participants and co-labourers with the Beloved
And the nations came to our doorsteps
Don’t chastise my eyes, for what it sees in you
When tomorrow came, your feet were gold and
The 7 Portals that lead to the glory of the Friend;
Widely opened before your gaze —
The Friend said; “Come”
“Come into the multifaceted dimensions of my essence
Come into the reference of your dominion;
Swallowed into immortality.”
When tomorrow came
I was a theatre of the divine dance
And the nations came to dance with God
