Yesterday's Dreams
Smokie · Love Songs [2004]
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
