Yesterday and today,
Today and tomorrow.
We never know what to expect.

One day it’s life,
The next day it’s death.
We never know what to expect.

Today were happy,
The next day we’re sad.
We never know what to expect.

Today it’s riches,
The next day less.
We never know what to expect.

The author's comments:
We always assume about tomorrow because of today or because of the situations that they are currently in. We could end up being shocked because we do never know what to expect.
