In '89, the dream begins First in line to California Pete Rose is banned for good The Simpsons come to Hollywood Russia leaves Afghanistan, Flight 103 ends Pan Am Bush is here, this is the year That I feel most alone [Chorus] No more Countin' down the hours No more Wishin' you were here I stopped believin', although Journey told me don't Before I call it a day Maybe this'll be my year [Post-Chorus] Maybe this'll be my year Maybe this'll be my year Maybe this'll be my year [Verse 2] In '92, a boy is born The skies were blue in Ohio Boris Yeltsin chills Freddie dies, but Queen is still Barcelona has the games Lady Di is single again Clinton wins, and I still dream That I'll find you someday In '97, a baby girl Adds some heaven to the world Tony Blair tips the scales Elton sings for the Princess of Wales Microsoft buys into Mac My dad has a second heart attack And Train leaves San Francisco In a thousand-dollar van [Chorus] No more Countin' down the hours No more Wishin' you were here I stopped believin', although Journey told me don't Before I call it a day Maybe this'll be my year [Post-Chorus] Maybe this'll be my year Maybe this'll be my year Maybe this'll be my year [Verse 3] 2001, the towers fell The world is stunned, I wish I knew ya I was on a plane, the world would never be the same The artificial heart is born Ironic when New York's is torn out, woah 2004, began in May On tour when I met ya Facebook joins the Internet Oldsmobile joins the cassette I met your family It took a while 'til you kissed me But when you did, I finally felt at home [Chorus] I stopped believin', although Journey told me don't Before I call it a day Maybe this'll be my year [Post-Chorus] Maybe this'll be my year Maybe this'll be my year Maybe this'll be my year [Outro] 2012, and all I know Is everybody comes and goes Everybody sings and cries Makes the grade and takes the prize In something, nothing, I don't care Because I always know that you'll be here With me
