Can’t Look Back

Can’t look back

gotta look forward 

forget the past 

hopeful, starward.

Down the line

a new day’s dawning

high bright sun

evening falling

resting peaceful, 

look inside 

slow hand paces

growing anthem

singing the soul’s song

of tomorrow and

can’t look back

gotta look forward

forget the past

hopeful, starward.
