I won’t cry for yesterday
I won’t cry for yesterday
I won’t shed even a tear for today
There’ll be more pain tomorrow anyway
I’m saving my tears for when it gets really bad
Maybe one day life will be so tough I’ll feel a little sad
Or maybe because it’s not tomorrow I’ll feel a little glad
One day, the pain will swell so hard and then some more
The pain I’ll no longer hold, I’ll then go and cry you a reservoir
Or maybe I’ll have held it in so long to harden me to the core
I see you crouched by a corner store, my tears begin to swell
Deep within me I know you feel the harshest hell
But there is nothing I can do for you and help you no one will
It seems this is the mind of the world, no one seems to care
Consider yourself lucky, at least we know you’re there
But to give you the slightest that it’s true, no one would even dare.
Are you going to go cry to your God above?
Do you really think he’ll shine down his love?
Did you stop and think that maybe it’s him giving you the shove?
So don’t go and cry for yesterday
Don’t shed the slightest tear for today
You’ll have all the more pain tomorrow anyway.
Walking alone along a road so dreary
Walking alone along a road so dreary
Hope for hope becoming weary
Silence the only voice to speak
Cold the only warmth I do seek
Alone in a world full of despair
Everyone seeing me there
The crowd of none soon surrounds
The deafening silence from them resounds
I walk between them unseen by none.
Backs turned I soon become undone
Alone in a world full of no pity
No end, no hope do I see
What is a life worth today
What is a life worth today
Should one die some tragic way
Would people stop and say
All he did was live and now this price to pay
When alive how many did you touch
How many people knew and loved
So much that they would say
This person for me did so much
Walking slowly in the night
As you suppose no one to see
Yet they do, they stop, they say
Hey, it’s you, do you know me, you might.
It seems at times that none would see
Would notice as you walk alone
Yet as lone as you may be they often do say
I knew him and could call him a friend of me
It seems as worth is measured by a number
But how many go unknowingly by
And one day they stop to say
Because of this, you I will always remember.
Your worth may seem so little now
But worth is worthless to account
For though it seems not a mite,
You’re true value you will know someday somehow
The flames of hell do me surround
The flames of hell do me surround
The smoke, my eyes confound
Slowly one step closer to the door
I wish to be here no more
One work of good dozens of trespasses
I know one day I’ll escape the masses
So many souls lost as I
But I am good and none can deny
A lost soul finds me through the smoke
The pitiful soul can only choke
I take his hand
I promise to take him to the promised land
The fires of hell lap at my soul
The pain more fierce than any could know
Moving one step closer to the door
I soon will be here no more
My sins abound
Few good works to be found
Falling farther and farther into the pit
I can do better and be removed from this
The soul being lead by me
Becomes clear that I am as blind as he
Wondering aimlessly though the filth
My bold promise only builds guilt
Soon I’m back at the beginning and farther from the door
Please God I can’t it any more
I’ve been as good as I can
It’s not my fault I’m so dead in sin
I’ve tried and some more I’ll try
There seems to be nothing to do but die
All hope is gone and sit and cry
The soul besides me lets out a sigh
He’s been here for ages
Looking and searching for the exit from our cages
Everyday taking few steps forward many return
A punishment from God seeming too stern
All hope now lost I bow and say
God help me, show me the way
A soul beaten smitten and crowned with thorns
Tells me to cast on him all I have borne
As his lifts my burden from me
My eyes are clear and now I can see
The son of God now shows me the way
Now I can see how much I’ve gone astray
When clearly seen no hope can be found
In a human soul, then can the grace of God abound
Walking with God though hell to the land
Lead ever so gently by his hand
So far have I gone astray
I marvel at him to say
My son thy sins are forgiven thee
No greater love have ever been shown to me
Soon in heaven I can be found
The pains of hell no longer surround
Son of man, son of God
Did what no man ever could
