When did You become the topic of conversation?
When did You become the country's popular myth?
Seems that overnight You caught everybody's attention
Everybody sings about You and Your name bounces off their lips

When did You become superstar of this generation?
And when did You become commercial property?
Everybody's got their own sweet lord, hear them singing
Looking here, looking there but they just don't seem sweet

Were You a guru, a godly man?
Or where You a genius, the best in the land?
Everybody is god in interpretatation
It won't take Your word, but won't do, but that hand in Your hand

I read in the paper that you were back in fashion
Amongst the famous men you were high on the list
Won't they realise that fashion's a passing fancy

The truth is yesterday, today, forever, You'll be staying
Yesterday, today, forever never wavering
You stated who You were and that will never change
Like it or not You'll always be the same Son of God

Like it or not, yesterday, today, forever...
Yesterday, today, forever, like it or not
