Cannot Live In the Past

You cannot move forward if stuck in reverse You have already been there no need to go back What is done has already been done Maybe it was a blessing, maybe it was a curse But you have already made that track Might ought to start living in tomorrow's sun Today will become yesterday tomorrow Study your history, live in the yet to come Plan ahead and not stumble on your past The Devil deals in misery, plenty for you to barrow Don't let it be your lust Mistakes were made, words were said Growing pains that still linger on Rivers crossed and bridges burning Memories that will fill your head But those yesterdays are all gone They were just lessons for the learning Let yesterday's trail dust float into the air That trail has already been rode Do not let it cloud up the one you will soon take The one that will get you somewhere On a brand new road For the new life you are going to make
