Intro:
We all have a choice. To stay where we are, or to move forward. I like to say, yeah, Change is inevitable, but Growth. Now that's intentional. What you gone do?
Chorus:
You can't go on living like you did before and
move on. Yesterday's Dead. Yesterday is Dead.
Verse 1:
I thought that want and need would always be my guarantee.
I thought, hey, truth is cool, but that alone won't set me free. Blessing was 'for everyone' just ended up excluding. Was God not choosing me? This was confusing me.
Life looks so funny when you're looking in it upside-down. I pushed and shoved, but accomplished most when my knees hit the ground. Loving was embarrassing, much more than I cared to be. Yah was preparing me, gave his love unsparingly. Yeh.
Pre-Chorus:
You can expect some changes for the better-give it a chance.
Release your face and watch your enemies begin to dance.
Matter-of-fact, go 'head and do it-praise in advance.
BUT You can't seem to let go of the grip of what's right in your hand.
Seem to let go of your past and take a chance,
'cuz you don't really like to do what you don't understand.
I'm sayin' though.
Chorus:
You can't go on living like you did before and
move on. Yesterday's Dead. Yesterday is Dead.
Verse 2:
Thought I was walking on water, plus comfort came when I saw him, but I went under when doubt hit. You'd think I'd learn my lesson.
Walked Earth's face at His time, saw His face in my mind, slipped but only hurt my hairline. You think I learned my lesson?
Lord, he was the love of my life. Why can't I book my own flight? My way, My highway, my right. A life I made a mess in.
This life had left me but gloom. 'My child why must you assume, 'cuz I You shall not meet doom, This lesson was effective.
Yep.
Pre-Chorus:
You can expect some changes for the better-give it a chance.
Release your face and watch your enemies begin to dance.
Matter-of-fact, go 'head and doe it-praise in advance.
BUT You can't seem to let go of the grip of what's right in your hand.
Seem to let go of your past and take a chance,
'cuz you don't really like to do what you don't understand.
I'm sayin' though.
Chorus:
You can't go on living like you did before and
move on. Yesterday's Dead. Yesterday is Dead. (X2)
