Yesterday Must Die

The heart stops

The body lets go

The ground’s soft

Then the dirt’s thrown

An entrance

To a new world

In an instant

We’re in the circle

And something new and beautiful grows

But yesterday must die

Before tomorrow can be born

The last grasp

Is the strongest

Fingers clasped

All around it

The let go

Is the hardest

When you don’t know

What comes next

But something new and beautiful grows

Yesterday must die

Before tomorrow can be born

From the dirt comes

Something brand new

From the ground up

Let it build you

So when the ending

It breaks you

Let the sadness

Transform you

And something new and beautiful grows

But yesterday must die

Before tomorrow can be born

And something new and beautiful grows

But yesterday must die

Yesterday must die

Yesterday must die

Yesterday must die
