"TRYING TO FIGURE OUT YESTERDAY"


  To live In the moment, that's what we do as 
  We take hold of today,

  The past Is nomore real, a memory, pictures In 
  An album to recall.

  The things' we've lost and discovered In yesterday,
  Remain with us,

  Wanting Is a feeling, an emotion of this, our 
  Human nature.

  What do we have today that we did not have 
  Yesterday,

  A little more and a little less fore to figure out, don't 
  Know why.

  A waste of time trying to understand what's been 
  Taken from a hand,

  Nothing to be gained, only loss, precious time 
  Lost in thought.

  So to the future we walk, with arms' opened wide,
  What's in sight,

  To yesterday a goodbye, as we no longer try 
  Changing the story,

  Trying to figure out yesterday, when life leads us 
  The rest of the way.
