Looking Forward

If I could look back and see old perspectives Nothing would seem quite the same I’d walk through a village, of past mistakes Longing to right yet they fall into blame The breeze seems indifferent and clouds pass away And the trees don’t quite fall like they should I dreamt of the child and innocence played Marking the ground with his name Now the stars are mostly grown The children now are brightly shown To save what can’t rightly die The past is gone and deep in space Buried in the darkest place but hey Reflections don’t lie. If I could look back and watch myself living I’d take back the bad things I did But if we never played, that day in the grass It can’t be worth living within Now the stars are mostly grown The children now are brightly shown To save what can’t rightly die The past is gone and deep in space Buried in the darkest place but hey Reflections don’t lie.
