Tomorrow
Tamia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Won't you please let me in
And you said I will
But tomorrow
Jesus said I am he
Who supplies all your needs
And you said I know
Tomorrow,
I'll give my life
Tomorrow,
I thought about today
But, it's so much easier to say
Tomorrow,
Who promised you,
Tomorrow,
Better choose the lord today
For tomorrow very well might be today
Jesus said here I stand
Won't you please take my hand
And you said I will
But tomorrow
Jesus said I am he
Who supplies all your needs
And you said I know
But tomorrow
Oh
Tomorrow,
I'll give my life
Tomorrow,
I thought about today
Oh
But, it's so much easier to say
Tomorrow,
Who promised you,
Tomorrow,
Better choose the lord today
For tomorrow very well might be today
And you said, your tomorrow would ever come for you
Still you laughed and played and continued on to say
Tomorrow, forget about
Tomorrow
Won't you give your life today
Oh
Please
Don't just turn and walk away
Tomorrow, tomorrow is not promised
Don't let this moment slip away
Who
Your tomorrow could, could very well be here today
The lyrics of Tamia's song Tomorrow highlight the tendency of humans to procrastinate, especially when it comes to matters of faith. The song provides us with two speakers—Jesus and a human—and a consistent back-and-forth between them. First, it's Jesus who asks to be let in and says He will supply the human's needs, and the human responds by saying he will, but not today. The same exchange follows where Jesus asks the human to take His hand, and the human says he knows, but he'll do it tomorrow. The two eventually meet in the chorus, where the human acknowledges that tomorrow is not promised, and therefore we must not let the moment slip away. We must not underestimate the urgency of the present in our decision-making.
This song is a reminder for us that we must embrace the opportunities present in our life, especially matters that are vital to us. It is a metaphor for our lives as human beings that struggling with decisions about committing to something because it means we have to face difficult and sometimes uncomfortable truths. It is easy to put off things, especially when dealing with spiritual matters. Still, we must remember that we are not guaranteed another day to make our choices, and therefore, if we do not seize the moment, we may not have another chance.
