How will I know
that tomorrow will never come,
that today I’m seeing the world
for the last time?

Why can’t we get a chance
to say goodbye to our loved ones?
Why must death be so sudden, like a surprise?
Sometimes it’s not death that pains us.
The sad thing is that we don’t get a chance
to say goodbye to our families.

How will I know
that tomorrow will never come,
so that I can say goodbye
while I still have time?
So I won’t wish I had said goodbye
when I’m already in heaven.
So people left on earth will be comforted
before I disappear into a grave.

I want to know if tomorrow will never come.
If I won’t wake up to see the sun again.
So I can peacefully lie on my bed with the silence,
taking my last breath in this world,
Knowing that my sleep will be endless.

In that case I won’t wake up in heaven with regrets,
like wishing I had said goodbye when I was still alive,
if only I had known that tomorrow will never come.
