Yesterday we cried
The sun resembled darkness
The night was pain
Waiting on the corner for refuge but storms were raging that he turned deaf to my cries
Yesterday was here and she had a plan
Plans to end all that was promised for the future
So I cried the tears of yesterday
Ripped off everything I held dear, the sun was a rumour
Dreams were nightmares and I looked forward to the dark under the impression that the light will soon come
Found myself in the pit of despair, pain became my friend, nightmares were a reminder that I still could feel
Though fear was the only emotion, it was an emotion I endured with pride as it meant I still was alive
I cried to the heavens interceding for provision but time went on as if I never was there
Bruises on my knees were the only witness to my belief
Tears in my eyes made me a prayer warrior so I was thankful
In destitute I showed gratitude for all that transpired though the reasons for their occurrences still remained mystery
Life tore me bare of all I worked so diligently to preserve, the demons sang glory to my fall
Yesterday cried with me, as she cried for joy as she captured me, I cried for release from her captivity
Called upon him for his favour, asked him to remember me once more, cried a river
Never did I stop believing change would come, shoved my incessant pleas through the heavens
Felt my faith overflow, saw a glimpse of hope, dreams became pleasant
The sun finally came, yesterday cried for me
