I see the face of yesterday’s child,
|
Living in a state of in between.
|
Is there a place for yesterday’s child,
|
Searching for an unforgotten dream?
|
|
Looking for rainbows at midnight,
|
Hoping tomorrow will come.
|
Will time erase for yesterday’s child?
|
What will the child become?
|
|
I hear the voice of yesterday’s child
|
Echoing my name, my name, my name.
|
Is there a choice for yesterday’s child,
|
Seeking shelter from the falling rain?
|
|
Chasing a butterfly lover,
|
Making a run for the sun.
|
Who will rejoice for yesterday’s child?
|
What is the game to be won?
|
Will you draw?
|
Will you fold?
|
Will you start playing wild?
|
What is the future for yesterday’s child?
|
Will you turn to dust,
|
Or go to the sea, racing with destiny?
|
Oh,look at me,
|
Born to be yesterday’s child.
