Lyrics for They Don't Give Medals to Yesterday's Heroes
Oh, they don't give medals to yesterday's heroes 'Cause yesterday's over and I've got to live for today I'm going places and nothing 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 And I'm in 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 loving cup, I'm a winner from this day on And yesterday is over Can't you see it's over Oh, yesterday is over Can't you see it's over Oh, yesterday is over Can't you see it's over
