10, 5 and random

Before tonight.

as each passing moment goes by,
I wonder, what if tomorrow never comes
before time is the first thing to leave
and elope with my eyes into the night,
before the earth plays foul and swallows me,
before I become a spirit that will doubt
if my deeds will come to allow me to sit
beside men on the right arm of my father,
if I don’t get the chance to be a better man,
my soul would suffer who I was before tonight.
