Written for and premiered by Cotswold Youth Choirs on December 6th 2014.

LYRICS
I am tomorrow. I hold the future in my hand. I'm the horizon, bringing light across the land.
We are tomorrow, we'll be the ones to lead the way. We are the future and so that is why we say:

I am tomorrow, I am the future, I am the world, and the world is changing and the world is new.
We are the dreamers, we're the believers, we are the dawn and it's coming closer and it's coming true.
We will build the world, passed to us from you.

We are tomorrow, we'll have the chance to prove our worth. We are the morning and the light will heal the Earth.
We'll inherit this world that you leave us, and we will help it grow.
Years are flying, flying, dying. And so we know. We know...

Repeat Chorus

2-part soprano and alto for children
STYLE: Moderate ballad
KEY: Eb major
RANGE: Soprano: Bb3 - E5
Alto: Ab3 - E5

Premiered by Cotswold Youth Choirs on December 7th 2013.
Also performed by the Janice Thompson Performance Trust, Swindon in December 2014.

LYRICS
To see the world through the eyes of a child; the world is simpler than you ever knew. You ever knew.
You don't see as we do. You don't hope as we do. You're lost on the ocean (of living).
Listen to us as we listen to you. Our voices are small but our hearts are true.
To see the world through the eyes of a child, the world is simpler than you could believe.
We may not have the knowledge and we may be naieve, but we see things differently to you.
We hear it all - a drop in the ocean, the whispering wind, and every single word you ever said.
We see it all - the touch of a rainbow, the magic of star shine. Time to see on instead.

To see the world through the eyes of a child, the world is simpler than you could believe.
We may not have the knowledge and we may be naieve, but we see things differently to you.
Feel the magic through the eyes of a child. Our world is a world of countless wonders!
Where mountains can be conquered and battles won, where dreams aren't make believe.
We may not have the knowledge and we may be naieve,
But we see hope and love and learning even when the world is burning,
We are here. We are here and we see things through a child's eyes.

2-part upper and lower voices
STYLE: Slow Ballad
KEY: Eb major
RANGE: Upper: Bb3 - Eb5/G5
Lower: F3 - Bb4

This piece can be sung by any combination of male and female voices; the upper part by sopranos and tenors, the lower by altos and basses (tenors and basses an octave lower than written).

LYRICS
Life is like the sea. It is too vast to understand, too full of storms.
Life is like the wind. It gently blows but you know it can knock you down.
Always only happy ever afters are we told. Oh no, that's not life.
Life's for learning things through living, and for growing and becoming.
Now our journey is beginning. In life you need to find who to be to be finally free to go on living. Living. Living.
