Yesterday

Yesterday I woke up and took an aspirin
I went out into the world
Something was callling my name
Suddenly I knew then and there
Life would never be the same

I walked down the hallway
I walked down the stairs
I opened the window
And threw out all my cares

I yelled and I hollered
I kicked and I screamed
But I knew in my heart
I would someday be redeemed

The hallway was winding
The stairs all pointed down
And love wasn't there
It would never be found

But someday I'll look back, down the long twisting hall
I'll knowingly smile about all the magnificant things I saw
And then I'll keep going for just awhile more
Til finally I'm tired, time to close the coffin door
