Yesterday's Dreams

Smokie · Love Songs [2004]

Verse 1:



We are the children of yesterday's dream

We are the promise of the future we bring

Waving the banner of love to all

To every nation the rich and the poor



Bridge:



We are the world of the restless and young

And we need a hand to guide us

Helping each other, build each other

As long as we're together you & me



Chorus:



For together we stand

Divided we fall together

we climb to the top of the world

We can be what we want for thye world to see

That we are the children of yesterday's dream



Verse 2:



We have the yearning to do what is best

Be someone special from all the rest

Nations and brothers in unity

Building tomorrow for you and for me



(Chorus)



We are the dreams come true

We are the children of yesterday's dream
