Lyrics
Yesterday is over
Yesterday has concluded, passed.
All the sands have passed through the hourglass
All moments have moved through time, but you remain.
But you're still here
Despite the past, you persist in the present.
Yesterday is over
Reference to the completion of the past.
The sun has finally set on all the words you said
All the words spoken are now concluded with the setting of the sun.
But you hold on to everything
You cling tightly to memories and experiences.
Yeah you hold on to everything
Repeated emphasis on holding onto things.
Open up your hands
Advice to release what you're holding.
And let go of what's behind you
Release the past; it cannot affect you now.
The past can't hurt you anymore or keep you on the ground
The past can't harm you or keep you down.
Will you let this be the moment that you let go of yourself
Asking if now is the time to move on from yourself.
Let His love hold on to you
Allow yourself to be embraced by divine love.
Yesterday is over
A repetition emphasizing the conclusion of the past.
The dust has come to rest on all the tears you left
All sorrow and pain from the past are settled.
But you're still here
You endure despite past hardships.
Yesterday is over
Similar to line 4, marking the end of the past.
The storm has come to an end six feet from where you stand
The turmoil and difficulties have ended close to where you stand.
But you hold on to everything
Continued attachment to past experiences.
Yeah you hold on to everything
Repeated emphasis on holding onto things.
Open up your hands
Encouragement to release what's held tightly.
And let go of what's behind you
Repeat advice to let go of the past.
The past can't hurt you anymore or keep you on the ground
Emphasis that the past cannot harm or restrain anymore.
Will you let this be the moment that you let go of yourself
Questioning if now is the moment to move on from oneself.
Let His love hold on to you
Allow yourself to be embraced by divine love.
And He won't let go, and He won't let go
Assurance of divine constancy and care.
His eyes are always set on you
God's unwavering attention is focused on you.
His arms are always holding you
God's everlasting support envelops you.
And He won't let go
Repeated assurance of divine constancy.
But You gotta let go of everything
Instruction to release all attachments.
You gotta let go of everything
Repeated advice to let go of everything.
You gotta let go of everything
Continued emphasis on releasing attachments.
Open up your hands
Reiterate the advice to open up and let go.
And let go of what's behind you
Emphasizing that the past no longer has power.
The past can't hurt you anymore or keep you on the ground
Questioning if this is the moment to move beyond oneself.
Will you let this be the moment that you let go of yourself
Allow yourself to be embraced by divine love.
Let His love hold on to you
Repeated assurance of divine constancy and care.
And He won't let go, and He won't let go
