There would be peace
Such endless peace, I'd pray
No alarming famine or drought
Like there was yesterday.
There would be hope
A hope beyond the gray
No tear-filled pain or sorrow
Not like yesterday.
There would be bright sunlight
To light the darkest way
No dimming sight or blindness
To hide from yesterday.
There would be joy
More joyous than I'd say
No anger or longsuffering
That built yesterday.
New dreams and new hopes
To lovingly share and play
A moment of faith and promises
We sought yesterday.
Today is what we live in
And where our hearts will stay
Tomorrow can't erase all things
We learned from yesterday.
There will be a future
And we will choose its way
Bearing all the love and life
That taught us yesterday.
