After Yesterday
Embracing Joy: A Musical Journey of Life's Transformation
Lyrics
I've spent most of my life as a luxury
I have lived a life filled with luxury.
Now I've taken the role of necessity
Now, I've shifted to a more essential and necessary role.
I was taking my time but a new day's come
Initially, I took my time, but a new day has arrived.
I've been waking up to a little more day
I wake up to a slightly extended day.
I've been taking my walks with a little more sway
I take my walks with a bit more confidence and style.
I was taking my time but a new day's come
Similar to line 3, emphasizing the arrival of a new day.
Make way for a new day
A call to make way for and welcome the new day.
Make room for a child
Create space and openness for a child, symbolizing innocence.
Make room for the sound of joy
Encourage space for the joyful sounds associated with children.
You're gonna hear it for awhile
Anticipation of celebrating and hearing joy for a considerable time.
We're only here for a while
Highlighting the temporary nature of our existence.
We didn't make ourselves, can't make a single life
We didn't create ourselves, emphasizing the mystery of life.
We can only make love with all our might
Expressing the idea that love is the only significant creation within our control.
Then we can pass it along as the new day comes
Suggesting that by sharing love, we contribute to the new day's positive energy.
After yesterday
Referring to a point in time - the day before today.
We can live here together
Expressing the possibility of coexistence after the challenges of the past.
After yesterday
Highlighting the potential for a harmonious existence regardless of circumstances.
In sunny and other weather
Suggesting enduring unity in both good and bad times.
We're closing in on forever
Implies approaching an eternal or lasting state.
Who'd have known a little boy
Surprise that a child could teach the speaker about finding joy.
Could teach me to believe in joy
Acknowledging the transformative power of joy and belief inspired by a child.
