Yesterday, as I see today

Yesterday, as I see today

Blossoms across the pathway..

Swaying rivers, winter shivers, 

Rainbows glowing by the bay

For all that’s now yesterday

Someone’s got to pay today…

Bridges that don’t mend broken friendships 

Buildings that don’t inhabit love

Robots that are here to stay

Evince that we have come a long way

But the power we had yesterday

That won’t return come what may..

For all the lost things of yesterday

Someone’s got to pay today…

The day has come now, as I see

No air to breathe, no sign of relief

No water to quench our thirst today

The bubble is soon to burst away

Today is nothing like yesterday

And someone’s paying everyday

Nature is fighting for its rights

To stay the same as yesterday

For the stars that shone

And the birds that crooned

For what we have lost 

From the night And day

Someone’s paying everyday

For better days ahead of today

Let the birds build their nests again

And the lakes make their own way

Coz it’s never too late to say

Bring me back my yesterday.

May we change And mend our way

For our yesterday will be here again

Blessing us with a brighter today

But let’s not forget this day

For what we’ve made out of yesterday

Someone had to pay today…
