I wanna take you to back when
My life began brand new
When my fire burned with passion and
My heart poured out its songs for you
I wanna be in your warm embrace
I wanna feel your touch again
The moment I died and let your spirit subside
And I felt you make my life begin
You opened up our eyes
And you answered all our cries
And we woke up new today
So let's sing those songs of yesterday
We're consumed with a new fire
We've found a new desire
When there's nothing left to say
Then we'll sing those songs of yesterday
If I could turn back the hands of time
If I could make the clock stand still
I would seize the very moment when
You made my cup overfill
Instill in me a righteous heart
And a soul that yearns for you
Give a passion that's everlasting and
Make my life sow seeds of truth
I wanna hear you sing
You opened up our eyes
And you answered all our cries
And we woke up new today
So let's sing those songs of yesterday
We're consumed with a new fire
We've found a new desire
When there's nothing left to say
Then we'll sing those songs of yesterday
