After Yesterday - John Gorka

I've spent most of my life as a luxury
Now I've taken the role of necessity
I was taking my time but a new day's come

I've been waking up to a little more day
I've been taking my walks with a little more sway
I was taking my time but a new day's come
Make way for a new day
Make room for a child
Make room for the sound of joy
You're gonna hear it for awhile
We're only here for a while

We didn't make ourselves, can't make a single life
We can only make love with all our might
Then we can pass it along as the new day comes

After yesterday
We can live here together
After yesterday
In sunny and other weather
We're closing in on forever

Who'd have known a little boy
Could teach me to believe in joy
