When Yesterday Came Around Again
When yesterday came around again
I welcomed it as a long lost friend
I knew what to expect
I knew what to plan
I’d done it all before
It wasn’t hard to understand
I like things in rhythm
Towing the line
No room for adventure
It takes too much time
All my hopes
Had long passed away
I accepted the dreariness
Of the day
Without any anticipation
I gladly gave up exhilaration
Routine, mundane
Robotic repetitiveness insane
No original thought
Really no need to think
Give up all imaginations
And let your brain shrink
As the world marches onward
At a backwards pace
Get that pacified look
Off of your face
Find something to do
That will cause you to think
Something to think that will
Cause you to question
Find answers to questions
That will ignite a fervor
Let the fervor burn within your heart
Dream big, think big, care about something
and make it matter
