That Was Yesterday

Yesterday I had nothing
Didn't know whether I'd amount to something
I had holes in my shoes and in my clothes
Only yesterday
I was just a boy living amongst children
Not really a toy that I could play with
I would pretend that anything could happen
That was yesterday
That was yesterday
That was yesterday
No matter how far I come
Still know where I'm from, oh
Never let it slip away
Still tryin' to figure out
What the game is all about, oh
So I take it day by day by day
Yesterday no one was listening
Today is gonna be different
You couldn't hear my voice under the surface
But that was yesterday
Yesterday I had no direction
In my mind I had nothing but questions
I couldn't never dreamed of what would happen
That was yesterday
That was yesterday
That was yesterday
No matter how far I come
Still know where I'm from, oh
Never let it slip away
Still tryin' to figure out
What the game is all about, oh
So I take it day by day by day
Yesterday I was hopin'
Today, the future's wide open
I was lost in the sounds of my mind
But that was yesterday
That was yesterday
That was yesterday
That was yesterday, oh
That was yesterday
That was yesterday
That was yesterday
