I Cannot Go

I Cannot Go I want to be what I was, Even 3 or four years ago, For little by little I’m fading And backwards I cannot go. I want to sing in my soul, When something new comes my way, For little by little I’m fading, And backwards I cannot go. I want to find peace and optimism again, As once I did in my youth, For little by little I’m fading, And backwards I cannot go. Now I see the light, I see skies right and left in the glow, Fading ends, a thrill begins, For forward I can go.
