Lyrics

yesterday was the day i was a stranger
i was lost and confused in my own town
had no hopes no dreams
no purpose no meaning
it took all that i had
to keep from going down ... yesterday

yesterday was the day i caught a vision
set a course and i left my old town
took the chance and i sailed
out on the raging seas
and i walked on the waves
though i thought i'd drown

yesterday was the day
of the opened eye
yesterday was the day
of no compromise
yesterday was the day i saw the lie
and now i'm lost in yesterday

yesterday was the day
i rode on eagle's wings
let the wind burn my face
man we flew so high
through the night caught a sight
of a shooting star
and i knew that my dream
was right before my eyes

yesterday was the day
of the opened eye
yesterday was the day
of no compromise
yesterday was the day i saw the lie
and now i'm lost in yesterday
yesterday, yesterday
lost in yesterday

we can live we can breathe
in the western sky
we can hope we can dream
and not wonder why
take the chance do the dance
and begin to fly
and say good bye to yesterday
