Yesterday you slept like a baby
Believing in the dreams of your life
But today it’s all over
And sleep isn’t going to be your mistress tonight.
Tonight the stars shine the brightest
Tonight this world seems to be in a hurry to move on
But you lie in your bed watching with the ceiling fan
As the movie of your life plays on and on.
Yesterday you scripted your own destiny
But today a different story unfolds
And you stand on the sidelines
And watch yourself play
As someone else calls the shots.
