After Yesterday

I've spent most of my life as a luxury

Now I've taken the role of necessity

I was taking my time but a new day's come

I've been waking up to a little more day

I've been taking my walks with a little more sway

I was taking my time but a new day's come

Make way for a new day

Make room for a child

Make room for the sound of joy

You're gonna hear it for awhile

We're only here for a while

We didn't make ourselves, can't make a single life

We can only make love with all our might

Then we can pass it along as the new day comes

After yesterday

We can live here together

After yesterday

In sunny and other weather

We're closing in on forever

Who'd have known a little boy

Could teach me to believe in joy
