Lyrics

They don't give medals to yesterday's heroes

Recognition and rewards are not given to those who were successful in the past.

'Cause yesterday's over and I've got to live for today

The past is gone, and the focus should be on living in the present.

I'm goin' places and nothing can stand in my way

The speaker is determined to achieve success and nothing will hinder their progress.


Yesterday is over

Emphasizing that the past is concluded and should be left behind.

No they don't give medals to yesterday's heroes

Reiterating that achievements from the past are not rewarded.

I know my way now, I'll never look back from this day on

The speaker is confident in their direction and determined not to dwell on the past.


I mean to borrow one day from tomorrow

Expressing a commitment to live fully today, even if it means borrowing from tomorrow.

And I'm gonna spend it on sunshine and things that I love

The speaker intends to use their time on enjoyable and positive things.

I'm gonna reach out and touch every star above

Setting ambitious goals and aspirations for the present.


Yesterday is over

Reiteration of the idea that the past is concluded and irrelevant to current achievements.

No they don't give medals to yesterday's heroes

Reemphasizing that past accomplishments are not honored with medals.

So wrap up that lovin' cup, I'm a winner from this day on

Celebrating the speaker's victory and success starting from today.


Yesterday is over, can't you see it's over?

Affirming the finality of the past and urging recognition that it's time to move forward.

And I begin livin' today

The speaker is ready to embrace and experience life in the present moment.


Oh

An exclamation, possibly indicating a strong emotional response.

Yesterday is over, can't you see it's over?

Reiterating the finality of the past and urging acknowledgment of the need to move forward.

Oh

Another exclamation, reinforcing the idea that the past is definitively over.

Yesterday is over

Final confirmation that the past is concluded and should be left behind.
