Yesterday's Hero

When I walk down the street

See the people who stop and stare and say

Haven't I seen that face somewhere a long time ago?

When I walk down the street

See the stranger who says why

With a how you going buddy when you walked on by

I thought I'd say hello

They say haven't I seen your face before

Weren't you the boy that used to live next door

Weren't you on television every night

Haven't I seen you around

Take a look at me

I'm yesterday's hero

Yesterday's hero

That's all I'll be

Take a look at me

I'm yesterday's hero

And yesterday's hero

Is all that I'm gonna be if I don't get together

Make a new start and be somebody better

All that I'll be if I don't get together now

When you walk down the street

If you know me then pass me by

If you wonder what I'm doing don't ask me why

I don't read the news

When you walk down the street

If you're sorry then don't feel bad

If you followed my story then just be glad

You ain't in my shoes

Because haven't you seen my face before

Yes I was the boy that used to live next door

Yes I was on television every night

Haven't you seen me around

Take a look at me

I'm yesterday's hero

Yesterday's hero

That's all I'll be

Take a look at me

I'm yesterday's hero

And yesterday's hero

Is all that I'm gonna be if we don't get together

Make a new start and be somebody better

All that I'll be if we don't get together now

Yesterday's hero

Yesterday's hero

Yesterday's hero

Yesterday's hero

Yesterday's hero

Yesterday's hero
