Yesterday’s Strife

Yesterday’s Strife

It masks itself and hides from the light

But it’s always there, just out of sight

Waiting for an opportunity to come along

Then it strikes up that old familiar song

Awakening memories from haunted pasts

And stirring feelings like the sun at high noon casts

Sending you down those old paths again

Reaching for the comfort of that old familiar friend

Trying to numb it, to somehow ease the pain

But finding no relief, because there’s still this pounding rain

What you seek is freedom, freedom from your own mind

It’s the only way to end the hurt, that others have left behind

Find the truth about you and your life

And free your mind from yesterday’s strife
