Yesterday I was in the dark
Trying to find the light
Yesterday I was giving up the fight
Yesterday the night had won
Yesterday I was done
Now yesterday is dead and gone

And yesterday, well I met you and
Yesterday you helped me through
Yesterday you showed me the way
All my life has meaning now and
It’s all because of you somehow
Yesterday you showed me the light
You are the light

Yesterday was a battle
I was fighting for my life
Yesterday I gave up on the fight
Yesterday I had fallen
I couldn’t pick myself up
I needed a helping hand to guide my way

And yesterday, well I met you and
Yesterday you helped me through
Yesterday you showed me the way
All my life has meaning now and
It’s all because of you somehow
Yesterday you showed me the light
You are the light

And I raise my head out of the sand
And I praise the Lord who took my hand
I thank the sky for sending you my way

And yesterday, well I met you and
Yesterday you helped me through
Yesterday you showed me the way
All my life has meaning now and
It’s all because of you somehow
Yesterday you showed me the light
You are the light
