 </div><p></p>It was yesterday,<br>
you said you will come sweeping, cleaning and changing!<br>
Leaving with us a song of hope.<br>
Now that you are here,<br>
Shall we compare thee to yesterday?<br>
Shall we pray for tomorrow to come again?<br>
For yesterday, our stomach were brushes and yet our brush became our sponge.
<p>Now that you are here,<br>
And we all sing the change,<br>
Shall this not be the pain we bear again?<br>
For yesterday we watch as poverty blanketed our sight,<br>
And like blind beggars we cry.</p>
<p>Divided in unity but you came.<br>
Hands on whip and packer to clear.<br>
But these dirts are everywhere, we say.<br>
As we wonder if this too shall pass again.</p>
<p>Today, you are here to stay,<br>
And we watch with our ears to see,<br>
As the sun break forth the day,<br>
Removing that stench of rot in us,<br>
So that that which has bled us before,<br>
Shall pay all the nickels to us.</p>
