If it weren't for the past
There wouldn't be a present
Walking towards a future
So uncertain and different

If it weren't for the rain
Tracing rivers in the dry fields
If it weren't for the Sun in winter
If it weren't for the fear of hell

Every night the present turns into the past
Take the opportunity to love and be loved
Don't leave it for tomorrow because you never know
Every today turns into yesterday sooner than expected
Enjoy every moment, enjoy more, slow down
If it weren't for yesterday

If it weren't for all my sins
I wouldn't know right from wrong
If it weren't for each betrayal
I wouldn't know the value of forgiveness

If it weren't for all the screams
From the hurt and the afflicted
If it weren't for all our blood
The sweat of our conflicts

Every night the present turns into the past
Take the opportunity to love and be loved
Don't leave it for tomorrow because you never know
Every today turns into yesterday sooner than expected
Enjoy every moment, enjoy more, slow down
If it weren't for yesterday

Every night the present turns into the past
Take the opportunity to love and be loved
Don't leave it for tomorrow because you never know
Every today turns into yesterday sooner than expected
Enjoy every moment, enjoy more, slow down
If it weren't for yesterday
