Live in the past

I cannot change yesterday
I have to let it go
I cannot free a tobacco slave
Or open Auswitch doors

I cannot change yesterday
I have to let it go
I cannot unblight the tattie
Or reroof the shieling burned

I cannot change yesterday
I have to let it go
I cannot cure the black death
Or bring the inquisition dead to life.

But I will make tomorrow
Far better than today
I will feed the stranger
And help whoever comes my way

I cannot save the world
I'll drown in pain if I try
But I will what err I can
When I see someone cry.

I cannot change yesterday
For it is far away
But I will make tomorrow
Far better than today
