A little inspiration from a beautiful song "Yesterday was hard on all of us".

I am a sucker for songs that have good lyrics. I recently saw the movie "Selma", I liked the official sound track "Glory" by Common featuring John Legend but I absolutely loved "Yesterday was hard on all of us" by fink. When I read history, I feel terrible and ponder why such a thing had to happen. I've read about South Africa's history on Apartheid system and racial discrimination in Europe and America. The movie "Selma" just showed me a real illustration. In Nigeria, we are currently dealing with Boko Haram, it still seems like a movie to me, not because I don't feel it is real but because it's just difficult to imagine how a human being with a heart can feel so much hatred and derive joy from causing others sorrows. I pray it all ends soon.


I always wanted to visit all the states that make up Northern Nigeria, I visited some while in secondary school.  I enjoyed the song "Yesterday was hard on all of us" and I hope soon terrorism would be in the past and peace can be restored once again in our nation and continent.

Lyrics to Yesterday Was Hard On All Of UsWhere do we go from here 
Where do we go 
Is it real or just something we think we know 

Where are we going now
Where do we go
Cos if it's the same as yesterday you know I'm out
Just so you know
Because
Because
Our paths, they cross
Yesterday was hard on all of us
On all of us
Who can we trust from here
Who can we trust
Are you real or something from wanderlust
Who can you can we trust my dear, sweet, flower
Who can you trust
From cradle to grave
From ashes to ashes, from dust to dust
Because
Because
Our paths, they crossed
Yesterday was hard on all of us
On all of us
Where do we go from here
Where do we go
We've got nothing we can trust and nothing we can sell
That's for sure
How do we get out
How do we move around with all these eyes on us
Tell you what, you go first
Almost like it's kind of rehearsed but
It's not, no
Because
Because
Our paths, they cross
Yesterday was hard on all of us
On all of us.
