After Yesterday
What am I going to do today
How am I going to cope today
After yesterday, how's it going to go today
Thought I had a little control
Co-pilot with God who'd saved my soul
After yesterday, who knows
After yesterday when I found
In the end when the chips are down
Your friends will not be found
And even God won't be around
Jesus said My God My God
Why have you forsaken me
After yesterday, I see what he means
After yesterday, I know what he means
Now some will object and say
Don't give in to emotion that way
Until yesterday, I said the same
Suck it up, keep a stiff upper lip
And don't ever give in to it
Cause only quitters lose
And only losers quit
Until yesterday when I learned
How it felt to be not-just-burned
But consumed down to the ash
Until yesterday I put my faith
In the power of saving grace
After yesterday, all bets are off
After yesterday, death on a cross
Was Jesus a man or myth
Used to I would have fought you over this
But since yesterday, I've realized
Jesus died to show me why
I had to live, love, grieve, and die
It's resurrection, my friends, new life
That's the prize
But the price is when you love
Grief will surely come
Cause everything dies eventually
Yet my only hope in life
Is to love or otherwise
I stay here in hell
Indefinitely
May the third day come
As soon as can be
How am I going to cope today
After yesterday, how's it going to go today
Thought I had a little control
Co-pilot with God who'd saved my soul
After yesterday, who knows
After yesterday when I found
In the end when the chips are down
Your friends will not be found
And even God won't be around
Jesus said My God My God
Why have you forsaken me
After yesterday, I see what he means
After yesterday, I know what he means
Now some will object and say
Don't give in to emotion that way
Until yesterday, I said the same
Suck it up, keep a stiff upper lip
And don't ever give in to it
Cause only quitters lose
And only losers quit
Until yesterday when I learned
How it felt to be not-just-burned
But consumed down to the ash
Until yesterday I put my faith
In the power of saving grace
After yesterday, all bets are off
After yesterday, death on a cross
Was Jesus a man or myth
Used to I would have fought you over this
But since yesterday, I've realized
Jesus died to show me why
I had to live, love, grieve, and die
It's resurrection, my friends, new life
That's the prize
But the price is when you love
Grief will surely come
Cause everything dies eventually
Yet my only hope in life
Is to love or otherwise
I stay here in hell
Indefinitely
May the third day come
As soon as can be
