I wrote this song back in 1998 with an accomplished songwriter, Stan Paul Davis. I listened to this song for the first time in years on this Christmas Day on an old cassette. I got so excited, because I thought of the inmates at Angola (Louisiana State Penitentiary) and realized that I needed to record it and add it to my next CD of Christian songs!NO MORE PRISONER OF YESTERDAY
I sat and watched my dreams dying
Thought I’d never have them back
I used to wander way too often
What I could do to change the past
And like the sun that rises
That shines its light to lead the way
A new beginning’s finally dawning
No more prisoner of yesterday
Bottled up mixed emotions
Secrets I would never tell
Found the key to true forgiveness
When I stopped running from myself
And like the sun that rises
That shines its light to lead the way
A new beginning’s finally dawning
No more prisoner of yesterday
And the more I look around me
The less I can complain
A new beginning’s finally dawning
No more prisoner of yesterday
A new beginning’s finally dawning
No more prisoner of yesterday
Thought I’d never have them back
I used to wander way too often
What I could do to change the past
And like the sun that rises
That shines its light to lead the way
A new beginning’s finally dawning
No more prisoner of yesterday
Bottled up mixed emotions
Secrets I would never tell
Found the key to true forgiveness
When I stopped running from myself
And like the sun that rises
That shines its light to lead the way
A new beginning’s finally dawning
No more prisoner of yesterday
And the more I look around me
The less I can complain
A new beginning’s finally dawning
No more prisoner of yesterday
A new beginning’s finally dawning
No more prisoner of yesterday
