Nina Simone Tomorrow Is My Turn lyrics

Though some may reach for the stars, others will end behind bars
What the future has in store, no one ever knows before
Yet we would all like the right to find the key to success
That elusive ray of light that will lead to happiness

Tomorrow is my turn, no more doubts no more fears
Tomorrow is my turn, when my luck is returnin'
All these years, I've been learnin' to save fingers from burnin'
Tomorrow is my turn, no more doubts no more fears
Tomorrow is my turn to receive without givin'
Make life worth livin', now it's my life I'm livin'
And my only concern for tomorrow is my turn

Now the summer is gone, there's another to come

You can't stop years drifting by, even if you want to try
Though time may help you forget all that has happened before
But honey it's too late to regret, what is gone will be no more

Tomorrow is my turn, no more doubts no more fears
Tomorrow is my turn, when my luck is returnin'
All these years, I've been learnin' to save fingers from burnin'
Tomorrow is my turn to receive without givin'
To make life worth livin', now it's my life I'm livin'
And my only concern for tomorrow is my turn
Tomorrow is my turn
