Yesterday’s Child Lyrics - David Crosby

Yesterday's Child (4:00) 

Words: David Crosby and James Raymond 

Music: James Raymond 

I know where there's a spring of blood and water 

It bubbles up from somewhere 

deep in the hearts of man 

There have come whirlpools 

to this place in recent times 

drinking down the breath of brothers 

And you might think that it's 

your world and the rest of us 

should fall away in forty 

moons you might find that it belongs 

to Yesterday's Child

I wish I had been raised 

wild by wolves and padded 

through a forest a thousand 

years before man 

Singing with my clan at two moons or 

three echoing across the world 

The exact sound of freedom 

Repeat chorus 

And if you feel that way 

face the dark and fight 

or keep on dreaming 

cause dreams make light 

In forty moons you might find 

that it belongs to Yesterday's Child
