Look Ahead

Don't look back go forward 
My past is in the past because it's behind me 
I am walking towards my future, 
it looks very bright I'm almost there 
Something is trying to keep me from reaching it 
I think it's fear and doubt 
there trying to stop my route 
Keep going. don't stop, don't look behind 
The past is there. it wasn't anything good 
I see a bright light shining ahead. I'm almost there 
I will not fear 
I see happiness, I see riches, I see love, I see joy 
I'm almost there. 
I'll make it if I continue to look ahead
