A deeply emotional song told through the eyes of a child caught in the middle of a family falling apart.While two parents fight for separate futures, the child is left carrying wounds from a battle they never chose.It mourns the ordinary moments, photographs and years together that will now never exist.Behind the anger is a simple question — did anyone stop to consider what the separation was doing to the child?Yet the story doesn’t end only in pain, as forgiveness begins to offer another path forward.The past may have taken many yesterdays, but it does not have to define every tomorrow still to come.You stole the years we could have shared — now my tomorrow has been stolen.
LYRICS
Stolen Tomorrow Verse 1 Born into a family With a Mom and Dad Never dreamt the home One day would fall apart Pre-Chorus [VOCAL: Trembling] Did you ever think about my feelings? [VOCAL: Holding Back Tears] Did you ever think what this would do to me? [VOCAL: Building Emotion] While you were fighting for your own tomorrow, [VOCAL: Almost Breaking] You were stealing mine. Chorus Carrying the deepest wound, Placed in the middle of your conflict, A battle I never chose to be in. Now my tomorrow has been stolen. Busy fighting one another, But I was the one left broken. You stole the years, We could have shared… [PAUSE] [VOCAL: FULL BELT • EMOTIONAL CRY] NOW MY TOMORROW HAS BEEN STOLEN! MY TOMORROW… HAS BEEN STOLEN! [SILENCE] Verse 2 Never asked for separation… (NEVER) Never asked for divorce… (NEVER) Just a kid who needed love, Not to choose between you two. Pre-Chorus [VOCAL: Trembling] Did you ever think about my feelings? [VOCAL: Holding Back Tears] Did you ever think what this would do to me? [VOCAL: Building Emotion] While you were fighting for your own tomorrow, [VOCAL: Almost Breaking] You were stealing mine. Chorus Carrying the deepest wound, Placed in the middle of your conflict, A battle I never chose to be in. Now my tomorrow has been stolen. Busy fighting one another, But I was the one left broken. You stole the years, We could have shared… [PAUSE] [VOCAL: FULL BELT • EMOTIONAL CRY] NOW MY TOMORROW HAS BEEN STOLEN! MY TOMORROW… HAS BEEN STOLEN! Bridge I still dream of what could have been, The moments that we’ll never know. Pictures never taken, Words I’ll never hear. If tomorrow still can find us, May forgiveness light the way. Though you stole so many yesterdays… Don’t let my tomorrow fade away. [BUILD] I won’t let this be the story That defines the life I live. Though my heart bears every scar… I’ll still choose to forgive. Final Chorus [KEY CHANGE] [FULL BAND] [FULL CHOIR] CARRYING THE DEEPEST WOUND, PLACED IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR CONFLICT, A BATTLE I NEVER CHOSE TO BE IN. NOW MY TOMORROW HAS BEEN STOLEN. BUSY FIGHTING ONE ANOTHER, BUT I WAS THE ONE LEFT BROKEN. YOU STOLE THE YEARS… WE COULD HAVE SHARED… [LONG PAUSE] [VOCAL: ONE FINAL CRY] NOW MY TOMORROW HAS BEEN STOLEN! MY TOMORROW… HAS BEEN STOLEN! [CHOIR JOINS] NOW MY TOMORROW HAS BEEN STOLEN! MY TOMORROW… HAS BEEN STOLEN! [CHOIR REPEATS • BUILDING] My tomorrow… Has been stolen… My tomorrow… Has been stolen… [SOLO VOCAL • SOFTLY] Will tomorrow… ever be restored? [MUSIC FADES TO SILENCE]
