Moving Forward

Moving Forward

People are judged by their past,
No matter how clean they may be now. 
People toss out the new you, 
And focus on the old now.

Like back in '06
When you were a drug addict.
You went to rehab '06,
And have been sober ever since.

It's a new day, 
the old has passed away.
Falling off like loose chains
Now's my chance to get away.

The old has passed away
And new adventures 
are headed my way.
Coming around the corner
You can catch it on the speedway.

No longer dwell on your past,
Instead move forward
And stay on track.
Fear will no longer hold you back.

Keep moving forward,
Life is like a roller coaster;
And you don't know 
when it's going to stop.
But when it stops 
Your time is up.
