Yesterday - 2nd Place

Yesterday when I was foolish I was hard-headed and at times boorish I played the games that I could not win Just to cause my world to spin I walked the paths of pitfalls and thorns I walked on embers and I grew some horns I challenged the might of faith On tawny trails, I dared my fate I looked at love like trophy and token I gathered some hearts and left them broken I dared not to know bronze from gold For, in my own wisdom I used to hold I never cared for what I lost Until my past chased me like a ghost I wish I could forget the ghosts of yesterday So to the heavens up above, I pray 2nd place
