YESTERDAY LIFE
Yesterday life was such an interesting game to play.
They were rioting times,
They were loving times,
They were demonstrating times,
They were revolutionary times.

Is today no different?
The words of a song say,
"O my friend, we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same."

They spoke of revolution before us
We speak of revolution today
They'll speak of revolution after us
Viva la revolution!
Yesterday's forever young; is that not what we lust for?
Today's forever present; is that not what we live for?
Tomorrow's forever old; is that not what we die for?
Yesterday's gone; remember the memories.
Today's here; live like it was yesterday.
Tomorrow's future; let the kids take care of tomorrow.
