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
