Walk Away From Yesterday

WALK AWAY FROM YESTERDAY

Trouble may come,
And yet as it rages on;
Dangers ever looms;
Sin has got me in doom

Living in perdition; I've made up my mind, I'm leaving;
I walked away from yesterday;
Now I leave my sorrow; 
Got my hopes now and tomorrow;

I shall not stay in this condition;
I am ready;
Though pestilent times I'm steady;

Living in perdition; I've made up my mind, I'm leaving;
I walked away from yesterday;
Now I leave my sorrow; 
Got my hopes now and tomorrow;
I walked away from yesterday;
Now I leave my sorrow; 
Got my hopes now and tomorrow, (tomorrow)
