Past

Our past comes back to haunt us
like an old wet dog
biting at our heels

We can run and run from it
but it will just come back
and we all know how that feels

We'll go for so long
and we'll think it's gone
but soon it will come crashing back

"God has forgiven" but what about ourselves
Could we ever survive
this vicious attack

Deep down inside we have to ask ourselves
"Can we really forgive all that's been done?"
"Can we ever get past our own past?"

We let it tear at our soul
We loose so much focus
Its time to rip off and discard this cast

The past is only that
The past
The past

Stop being deceived
The past
it's all the past
