Don'T Look Back
There is a time to look forward
Nobody knows what’s to be
The future hasn’t happened
Not to you or to me.
There is a time to remember
Good things and bad.
A time for reflection
On happy times, and sad.
There is a time for the living
The minute is here, with the wonder of what can be
So much can happen, so let’s live it and see.
But one thing I say is never look back.
What’s happened has happened
So we don’t need to lose track.
The past is gone, and can be forgot.
Remember the woman that looked back;
The wife of poor Lot
She looked back to the place of evil and sin
She looked with a longing at the house she lived in
She looked back on the town, and that was her fault
The longing she felt slowed her, and she turned to a pillar of salt.
