Yesterday's Tomorrow
Unveiling the Enigma of Yesterday's Tomorrow
Lyrics
Your shadows are fading, folding into mine;
Your past troubles are diminishing and merging with mine.
Elusive my vision, sliding into time.
My understanding is vague, slipping into the passage of time.
And softly I wake 'mid settling snow
I awaken gently amidst falling snow, disrupting the peace.
Disturbing the morning with something I know.
Creating a disturbance in the morning with a realization.
Off in the distance, caring for me
Someone in the distance is looking out for me.
Who could it be this stranger?
Questioning the identity of this caring stranger.
Watching and waiting in a wholly different way;
Observing and anticipating in a completely different manner.
Halting and helpless, what will be today?
Feeling uncertain and powerless, wondering about the future.
Where was I when I met me?
Reflecting on the past and questioning my presence when I discovered myself.
That person I remember you used to be.
Recalling the person you used to be, a memory of the past.
And now that I know you, the you that is me
Now that I understand you, the person I have become.
Where will it lead, this stranger?
Contemplating the future path of this unfamiliar connection.
Where will it lead, where will it lead, this stranger?
Pondering where this unknown journey will lead.
Maybe tomorrow's wanting this today:
Expressing a desire for a better tomorrow in the present.
Gently will follow loving yesterday.
Hoping that love from the past will gently influence today.
And maybe I'll know the truth that I knew.
Anticipating discovering the truth I once knew.
Then maybe, maybe I'll even love you.
Possibly, I might even find love for you.
But now that I'm feeling the me that's to be
Feeling the emerging self and finding joy in the connection with the unknown.
Enjoying in you my stranger.
Finding pleasure in the presence of this unfamiliar self.
Where will it lead, where will it lead, this stranger?
Wondering about the destination of this unfamiliar journey.
