About the artist

North of Tomorrow is made up of long time musical collaborators and band mates – Gary Adrian, Brian Mueller and Stephen Rogers. Aged for decades, cooked in the Arizona desert, and utilizing the creativity of side musicians from all over the world, North of Tomorrow presents something different with each musical idea, without confinement of one particular genre. The goal is to create music that yields something different with each repeated listen - without losing sight that a great song should make you smile, turn it up, and get up to shake something, anything.

Give it a listen. There is something here for you.

Lyrics

Hope and a prayer
Are not a lot.
But hope and prayer
Are all we’ve got.
Me and the five kids and the wife at home
It still just feels like I am all alone.

Someday there’ll be
A field of plenty
That was meant for me
To tend.
We’ll sleep with eider down.
Cut the bread
And pass the jug around
My friend.

But until that day.
We can only pray.
Pray for rain.
We pray for rain.

My hands are cracked
From working the land.
My back is bent.
It’s hard to stand.

Like my father
And his one before.
Just trying to find a living
Nothing more.

Someday there’ll be
No more fallen angels.
Just a place for me
to spend.
A quiet time alone.
Where the sunlight finds me.
A place that I call home,
My friend.

But until that day.
We can only pray.
Pray for rain.
We pray for rain.

Hope and a prayer
Are not a lot.
But hope and prayer
Are all we’ve got.

Someday there’ll be
A heavenly choir
Waiting there for me
My friend.

But until that day.
We can only pray.
Pray for rain.
We pray for rain
