The sun on the meadow is bright and warm
The deer in the woodlands runs free
Though hardship & illness may leave me torn
Tomorrow belongs to me
..Tomorrow belongs to me


The young sapling branch is leafy and green
And rivers give a bounty to the sea
Somewhere beyond the hurt and pain
Tomorrow belongs to me
..Tomorrow belongs to me



The child in her arms is closing its eyes
And blossoms embrace the bee
Can't you hear the whisper, arise, arise
The future belongs to me
..The future belongs to me



Now homeland, myland show me the sign
That once more I can be free
Each morning will come in it's own time
Tomorrow belongs to me
..Tomorrow belongs to me



Gathered together we're bound, yet free
With a strength not our own live we 
And death this day shall not have me
Today belongs to me
..Today belongs to me



And when the day comes, in God's good time
When I am of cancer set free
I shall arise strong and fine
For the future belongs to me
The future belongs, the future belongs
Tomorrow belongs to me

Adapted from a song written
