You should have been there when I was twenty
You never heard such applause
Now Iââ?¬â?¢m twenty-five and hardly anyone knows Iââ?¬â?¢m alive
But thereââ?¬â?¢s no use in lookinââ?¬â?¢ back
Because they donââ?¬â?¢t give medals to yesterdayââ?¬â?¢s heroes
ââ?¬Ë?Cause yesterdayââ?¬â?¢s over and Iââ?¬â?¢ve got to live for today
Iââ?¬â?¢m goinââ?¬â?¢ to a place and nothing can stand in my way
Yesterday is over
No they donââ?¬â?¢t give medals to yesterdayââ?¬â?¢s heroes
I know my way now, Iââ?¬â?¢ll never look back from this day on
Yesterday is over, canââ?¬â?¢t you see itââ?¬â?¢s over
And I begin livinââ?¬â?¢ today
I mean to borrow one day from tomorrow
And Iââ?¬â?¢m gonna spend it on sunshine and things that I love
Iââ?¬â?¢m gonna reach out and touch every star above
Yesterday is over
No they donââ?¬â?¢t give medals to yesterdayââ?¬â?¢s heroes
So wrap up that lovinââ?¬â?¢ cup
Iââ?¬â?¢m a winner from this day on
Yesterday is over, canââ?¬â?¢t you see itââ?¬â?¢s over
And I begin livinââ?¬â?¢ today
