Tomorrow Nation
O'Yaba Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

time goes by
flowers start to bloom
with the beauty and such brightness
I say they won´t stand a chance
they don´t want to think about children
or how they see you to forget them
tell me where would they go
if you turn your back on them

why don´t you bring them to the shelter
you have a special key to the future
how they see you in everyway

Tomorrow Nation
(I'm talking about the tomorrow)
Tomorrow Nation
Tomorrow Nation

time goes by
flowers start to bloom
with the beauty and such brightness
I say they won´t stand a chance
they don´t want to think about children
or how they see you to forget them
tell me where would they go
if you turn your back on them
why don´t you bring them to the shelter
you have a special key to the future
how they see you in everyway
