Today, I'm here in Yesterday
Where all they ever do is stay
Stay in their house, stay in their car
Stay at their job, they never go far
In steel cages, they crawl
Along paved paths to it all
But "it all" is just a nine to five
That pays the bills, so on they drive
Here, in Yesterday, I'm content
To watch the world with no intent
No passion, no drive, no foolish dreams
Just stale jokes and tired routines
Tomorrow, I'll head back to Today
Where all I ever do is say
"I'm going places, wait and see"
"Someday I'll make sure we're all free"
I'll work and not sleep
I'll dream and not eat
I'll leave Yesterday in shock
As I climb to the top
There, in Today, I feel alive
The thrill of it all, in it I thrive
Changes and newness and scary things
That steal my breath and give me wings
One of these days, I'll find Tomorrow
Where not a soul will sit in sorrow
Where everyone will believe in me
And every eye will finally see
Every being will have "it all"
No one will have to take the fall
Every heart will have what it takes
And not one dream will lose its stakes
There, in Tomorrow, who knows what we'll find
I can't say, nor can you, so never mind
But I won't quit dreaming, here in Today
And I'll never let go of my worn out Yesterday
