This song explores the themes of yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Yesterday was a bad day, today is slightly better, and tomorrow will be the best day ever. This song, to me, explores optimism in a way that doesn't forget the bad but acknowledges it.
Yesterday, today, and tomorrow
Yesterday was so filled with sorrow
ooooh
can’t wait for the day
oohhh
please dont delay
I said tomorrow will be so good
I’ll be the happiest man in the neighborhood
ooooh
can’t wait for the day
oohhh
please dont delay
Yesterday was so poor.
I lost my one amor
I broke my new drumset.
And I was so upset
got into a car crash
It all happened so fast.
I got into a fight
I almost lost my sight.
Yesterday, today, and tomorrow
Yesterday was so filled with sorrow
ooooh
can’t wait for the day
oohhh
please dont delay
I said tomorrow will be so good
I’ll be the happiest man in the neighborhood
ooooh
can’t wait for the day
oohhh
please dont delay
Today will be so great
many things to create
woke up on the right side
The night before, I had cried.
The present is a gift.
The race isn’t for the swift.
The future is now here
can’t lie, there is some fear
Yesterday, today, and tomorrow
Yesterday was so filled with sorrow
ooooh
can’t wait for the day
oohhh
please dont delay
I said tomorrow will be so good
I’ll be the happiest man in the neighborhood
ooooh
can’t wait for the day
oohhh
please dont delay
tomorrow hasnt come
But I know it’s the one.
It will be so super
can’t wait for the future
Although I’ve planned some things
Who knows what it may bring
No one can steal my zeal
im gonna take the wheel
Yesterday, today, and tomorrow
Yesterday was so filled with sorrow
ooooh
can’t wait for th e day
oohhh
please dont delay
I said tomorrow will be so good
I’ll be the happiest man in the neighborhood
ooooh
can’t wait for the day
oohhh
please dont delay
