Lyrics: Fred Ebb Music: John Kander Wait! Herr Ludwig! You are not leaving so early? I do not find this party amusing Oh- but it is just beginning Come, we will make it amusing Ja? You and I Ladies and Gentlemen, wait! Herr Ludwig- this is for you
The sun on the meadow is summery warm The stag in the forest runs free But gather together to greet the storm Tomorrow belongs to me
The branch of the linden is leafy and green The Rhine gives its gold to the sea But somewhere a glory awaits unseen Tomorrow belongs to me Herr Ludwig! Sing with me! The babe in his cradle is closing his Π΅yes The blossom embracΠ΅s the bee But soon, says a whisper "Arise, arise" Tomorrow belongs to me" Everyone! Oh Fatherland, Fatherland Show us the sign Your children have waited to see The morning will come When the world is mine Tomorrow belongs to me! Oh Fatherland, Fatherland Show us the sign Your children have waited to see The morning will come When the world is mine Tomorrow belongs to me!
