(Verse)
You should have been there when I was 20
You never heard such applause
But now I'm 25
And hardly anyone knows I'm alive
But there's no use in lookin' back, because

(Chorus 1)
They don't give medals to yesterday's heroes
'Cause yesterday's over and I've got to live for today
I'm goin' places and nothin' can stand in my way
Yesterday is over
No, they don't give medals to yesterday's heroes
I know my way now
I'll never look back from this day on

(Chorus 2)
I mean to borrow one day from tomorrow
And I'm gonna spend it on sunshine and things that I love
I'm gonna reach out and touch every star up above
Yesterday is over
No, they don't give medals to yesterday's heroes
So wrap up that lovin' cup
I'm a winner from this day on

Yesterday is over
Can't you see it's over?
And I begin livin' today
