I've seen the light and I've seen it fade, and I walked away, still I'm okay
I remember the pain inside on the day when my mother died
Never went away, it's still here today

You're born alone, you die alone, but still we live on
Yesterday's a memory, tomorrow is a vision
But today, it's a bitch
Yesterday's a memory, tomorrow is a vision
But today, it's a bitch

And my baby, he went to sleep in his mother's arms
We prayed to keep, he shied away, he never lived a day
Best friend called me up to say with a gun in his hand, he said he's gone crazy
Said you'll be okay, he still died the next day

You're born alone, you die alone, but still we live on
Yesterday's a memory, tomorrow is a vision
But today, it's a bitch
Yesterday's a memory, tomorrow is a vision
But today, it's a bitch

I stood in line, I've lost my pride
I've made the change, I'm a better man today
Death brings life, still we try to live a better way before your dying day

You're born alone, you die alone, still you live on
Yesterday is a memory, tomorrow is a vision
But today, it's a bitch
Yesterday is a memory, tomorrow is a vision
But today, it's a bitch
Yeah, yeah
Yesterday is a memory
But today, it's a bitch
Yeah, yeah
Yesterday is a memory, tomorrow is a vision
