lyrics

YESTERDAY’S HERO

See the faces as they pass
Their eyes look right through you
How could they know what you have seen?
And would they even care?

Yesterday’s hero
He wanders this world alone
So useless and forgotten
With no battles left to fight

Medals pinned upon your chest
On that day of victory
When Earth was saved against all odds
In a time so long ago

Are you just a reminder?
Of a time that's best forgotten?
The children of the future
Will never know our sacrifice
