My Homework’s Due Tomorrow (12-4-2010)

My homework’s due tomorrow
It’s Sunday night again
My thoughts are fast to follow
I’ll be staying up past ten.

If each day is a jewel
Then this weekend made me rich
But this loss of time is cruel
A hole in heart to stitch

School’s never over –
We’re always learning just the same
Oh, to find that four-leaf clover
And make this madness become tame

The teachers yell and bark and bite
The backpacks are a load
And it seems there is no end in sight
The future, a narrow twisting road

A beach as endless as the sea
And grains of sand like stars
For time to stop, I’d plea
And make the moment become ours

If time I could as sugar borrow
But from Who, how, and when?
My homework’s due tomorrow
It’s Sunday night again…
