~~Yesterday~~

Yesterday has gone away,
Never to return,
So let me live today with joy
While the embers slowly burn...

Yesterday has gone away;
Tomorrow is at hand,
So let me live today with hope,
As I strive to understand...

Yesterday has gone away;
Each moment now is past,
So let me live today with love,
As tomorrow's die is cast...

Yesterday has gone away,
No more to abide,
So let me live today in peace
With the master by my side!
