Yesterday - an original ukulele song about preschoolers
Sorry I’m a bit sick, I’ll be sick for about the next six months being around all these kids 😅

Soli Deo Gloria
Lyrics:
Your shoes are on the right feet but they never feel quite right
Mom tells you to switch them but you don’t
You and your best friend last week got into a giant fight
But now it’s ancient history to you both
Don’t forget this time when you can fall after a climb
And a bandaid makes everything okay
No shoes on your feet, your little life is on repeat
And everything that ever happened was yesterday
One plus one is two, so two and two must make three
Why do they keep telling you no?
You’re not four, you’re four-and-a-half, so you know lots of things
But why does mom keep saying not to grow?
Wear the backwards clothes and stripes and polka dots and bows
It’ll be covered in dirt anyway
Paint across your face and footprints all over the place
And everything that ever happened was yesterday
They show you lines and shapes but all you want to do is play
If you knew much better you would turn around and say
“I don’t have much time left to be a kid so let me be”
Always asking why, no answer’s good enough each time
But next day you’ll give it another go
Now cover up your feet, the world stops when you are asleep
And everything that’s gonna happen is tomorrow
