[Verse 1] I'm scrolling through a world that never waits Everything delivered to my door But somewhere in the glow of my phone screen I started wondering what I'm living for The coffee's instant, but the dreams take time The likes come fast, but love grows slow I'm learning that the sweetest things in life Are planted deep and take some time to grow [Chorus] Every choice I make today Is a seed I'm planting for tomorrow Every dollar that I save Every book I read, every tear I borrow The person that I'm gonna be Is living in the choices that I'm making now So I'll choose with intention, choose with care 'Cause tomorrow's growing somewhere in the how [Verse 2] My friends all think I'm crazy when I say I'd rather walk than take the easy ride They're buying now and paying later on While I'm learning how to wait and save with pride The gym is hard, but health is worth the sweat The books are slow, but wisdom's worth the time I'm planting seeds in soil they can't see yet But I can feel them growing, line by line [Chorus] Every choice I make today Is a seed I'm planting for tomorrow Every dollar that I save Every book I read, every tear I borrow The person that I'm gonna be Is living in the choices that I'm making now So I'll choose with intention, choose with care 'Cause tomorrow's growing somewhere in the how [Bridge] And maybe I'm old-fashioned in a digital age Maybe I'm swimming upstream But I've seen what happens when you chase the now And forget to water your dreams So I'll take the long way, I'll pay the price I'll invest in what I cannot see 'Cause the future me is counting on The choices of the present me [Verse 3] I could eat the fast food, but I'll cook instead I could watch TV, but I'll learn guitar I could spend my paycheck on things I want right now Or save it for the person that I are becoming, slowly, surely, day by day Through the discipline of small sacrifices Tomorrow's version of myself will thank me For the seeds I'm planting in today's choices [Verse 4] The workout hurts, but my body's getting strong The early mornings make the evenings mine I'm building habits like I'm building a home Brick by brick and line by line My friends are living for the weekend rush But I'm investing in a different dream Where every Monday is a chance to build On the foundation of what I want to mean [Verse 5] So when the instant culture calls my name With promises of pleasure without cost I'll remember that the greatest things I've gained Came from the shortcuts that I chose to cross out of my vocabulary, out of my way I'm walking the long road to where I'm going And every step I take, every choice I make Is a seed of tomorrow that's growing [Final Chorus] Every choice I make today Is a seed I'm planting for tomorrow Every dollar that I save Every book I read, every joy I borrow The person that I'm gonna be Is living in the choices that I'm making now So I'll choose with intention, choose with care 'Cause tomorrow's growing somewhere in the how Yeah, tomorrow's growing somewhere in the how And I'm the gardener now [Quote] "The future is purchased by the present." -Samuel Johnson
