Lyrics

Tomorrow Will Keep
(N. Studelska, Feb. 2016)

1. Away to battle our men proudly go.
Spirits are high while many hearts are low.
Friends and neighbors, columns in line.
So fine a sight, armor yet shines.


Chorus:
Time idles by, and chores fill the day.
Talk not of our men, we feign to be gay.
Nights seem much longer-for restless we sleep.
For mothers and sisters and wives...
Tomorrow will keep.



2. News from our men we anxiously wait.
Learning scant little-from reports sent of late.
Young boys no longer-play battles to fight.
While young girls watch, their fathers to sight.


Chorus


3. Far in the distance, finally return.
Columns now smaller, loses forlorn.
Some can now sleep, yet others will weep.
We hope our young boys, safely we'll keep.


Chorus
