If the world keeps turnin’
And my mind keeps burnin’
Can you feel the passion?
Can I make it happen once again?
Now I’m running
In times that are frightening
But I won’t let that break me
I won’t let that take me down again
No
So you know my story
Well I’ll tell you a secret
Inside I was hurtin’
Inside I was cryin’ out for more
Now I’m rolling
Through streets that are empty
To find my destination
Will you touch my fascination once again?
It’s like a memory that will last
Like a postcard from the past
Yesterday is history
It’s there for all the world to see
Like a memory that will last
Like a postcard from the past
My future seems wide open
And tomorrow’s never broken
So come on!
I’m twice the man I used to be
Through the journey of discovery
And it’s more than a feeling
It’s there inside the meaning
Of the man who is speaking
To all of your emotions
And now I’m holding
The keys to our future in my hand
It’s like a memory that will last
Like a postcard from the past
Yesterday is history
It’s there for all the world to see
Like a memory that will last
Like a postcard from the past
My future seems wide open
And tomorrow’s never broken
So come on!
You don’t understand that I won’t shake
You don’t realize that I won’t break
‘Cause I could be so strong
For you, my love
We can live it once again
So you know my story
Well I’ll tell you a secret
Yesterday is history
It’s there for all the world to see
Like a memory that will last
Like a postcard from the past
Yesterday is history
It’s there for all the world to see
Like a memory that will last
Like a postcard from the past
My future seems wide open
And tomorrow’s never broken
Like a memory that will last
Like a postcard from the past
My future seems wide open
And tomorrow’s never broken
So come on!
