I was once a spaceman taken to the sky
I was the first to launch a rocket, play a game of footy on the moon
I would search the galaxy for a sign of life
Hold my thumb up to the earth and cover every single thing I knew
I used to want to be an astronaut
Every day I used to fight
Ooh, yesterday
It seemed like growing up was a million miles away
But ooh, we'll be chasing dreams
From our very first step to our very last breath
And every day in between
When I was a ranger with a bounty on my head
On a silver Sterling brumby on the run across the border line
I would find a valley, build a little homestead
Be the man from Snowy River with my cowgirl on my left hand side
I used to want to be a cowboy
Every day I used to ride
Ooh, yesterday
It seemed like growing up was a million miles away
But ooh, we'll be chasing dreams
From our very first step to our very last breath
And every day in between
If you want to be a fireman, fire girl
Go save the day
If you want to be a rock and roll superstar
Then take the stage
All you need are days to dream
All you need is time
Ooh, yesterday
It seemed like growing up was a million miles away
But ooh, we'll be chasing dreams
From our very first step to our very last breath
And every day in between
From our very first step to our very last breath
And every day in between
