Waiting for Yesterday

The dream is over much too soon
You expected this though, your fantasy’s doom
As soon as life begins, the end is near
And no one lives the now and here
Always waiting for the day
When they’ll look to you and say
You’ve made it, how does it feel?
But you never understand
You don’t know how you can
That it may not come
The day, the one
The time that it’ll end
and will be good
But life just isn’t like that
Always planning and expecting
Looking far ahead
It takes too long in coming
And another dream is dead...

It’s over now
That thing that never started
You’ve just met and now you’ve parted
That’s just life,
the pain and strife
and all the agony of defeat
Again you’ll try
You won’t know why
The ground’s so heavy beneath your feet
Your wings are clipped
Your war cry is, “until I fail”
You think that you’re as tough as nails
But no one knows
Where you’re going
You don’t know
the point in knowing.
What you want is to live
To know success
To take and give
And now you turn and walk away
But still you hear the people say
You’ve failed again, always just the same
It’s your fault, they say, you deserve the blame

How can anyone tell you there’s something more?
You’ll fail again, you’ve failed before
But it doesn’t end then and it doesn’t end now
It doesn’t end, just turns around
An endless wheel of smiles and frowns
Why won’t it roll if it can’t go down?
So wear a hat and sing a song,
You’ll be trying all day long.
And if the night brings pain and sorrow
You’ll wake up and face tomorrow.
It won’t end until it starts.....
