I Am No Longer the Man of Yesterday

I walked some roads that led me blind,

Chased the world and left my heart behind.

But time’s a teacher, it shows the cost —

Of what you’ve gained, and all that you’ve lost.

I’ve been broken, I’ve been wrong,

But I found the strength to carry on.

Things, they change, and I’ve been trying hard

To change my ways.

I’m not the same,

I’m not the same man I was yesterday.

I’ve learned to love,

I’ve learned to hold on tight —

Hold on tight to what matters most

In this short life.

I’m not the same,

I’m not the same man I was yesterday.

I’ve hurt the one who cared the most,

Took for granted what I should have held close.

But now I see with clearer eyes —

The greatest treasures found in love that never dies.

I’ve been humbled, I’ve been scarred,

But the hardest lessons make you who you are.

Things, they change, and I’ve been trying hard

To change my ways.

I’m not the same,

I’m not the same man I was yesterday.

Oh, I’ve learned to give,

I’ve learned to make it right —

To live with grace,

And walk in the light.

I’m not the same,

I’m not the same man I was yesterday.

I can’t undo the past,

But I can heal the pain.

Every stumble’s just a step

Toward better days.

I’ll be the father, the brother, the friend —

Who loves with no regrets until the very end.

All things, they change, and I’ve been trying hard

To change my ways.

No, I’m not the same,

I’m not the same man I was yesterday.

I’ve learned to love,

I’ve learned to hold on tight —

Hold on right to what matters most

In this one short life.

I’m not the same,

I’m not the same man I was yesterday.

I’m not the same —

Oh, I’m not the same man I was yesterday.
