2nd verse
Prayers in my pocket and no hand in destiny.
I`ll keep movin` along with no time to plant my feet.
`Cause yesterday`s got nothin` for me.
Old pictures that I`ll always see.
Some things could be better if we`d just let them be.
3rd verse
Yesterday there were so many things I was never shown.
Suddenly this time I found I`m on the streets and I`m alone.
Yesterday`s got nothin` for me.
Old pictures that I`ll always see.
I ain`t got time to reminisce old novelties.
