Lyrics

Yesterday's People

(Music - M. Novak, Lyrics - C. Webster)

When we were young Learning was fun
Your world was new It constantly grew
New habits took form New ideas were born
Yesterday people Born with a yearning
Yesterday people Constantly learning


School was your source Laid out by the course
After years of training High thoughts attaining
Looking into the unknown Seen as ones own
Yesterday people Lifetime of new
Yesterday people Your minds grew


Chorus:

Yesterday people == Learning on the fly
Yesterday people == Using your knowledge to touch the sky
Yesterday people == Changes come faster as time goes by
Yesterday people == The Now passes you by

Our world changes too fast Impossible to forget the past
New ways replace old Confusion seems to take hold
Each new app harder to learn Random changes at each turn
Yesterday people Hard to forget
Yesterday people With strong regret

You become yesterday's folks Heart aches and strokes
Lost in a deep fog With a learning backlog
You'll be there in time Looking at a new paradigm
Yesterday people Losing memories key
Yesterday people Is what we'll soon be
