Some say that we should never look back

But how are we going to learn?

And how can we focus

just on the present

When the future is

an ongoing concern?

*

Sure, sometimes I hate to think

Of chances I missed

Or mistakes that I once made

But it can give me the best chance

To get ahead right now

And make sure all those debts are paid

*

And sometimes I’m so worried

About tomorrow

I don’t want to feel more pain

But if I eliminate doubt

And plan better right now

I will never have to complain

**

We live in the now

We should learn from the past

And plan

for the best possible future

*

We make it some how

Start slow and get fast

Every day is this superstar’s new tour

**

Some say that we should never look back

But how are we going to learn?

And how can we focus

just on the present

When the future is

an ongoing concern?

*

Sure sometimes I have to think

Of chances I missed

And mistakes that I once made

But it can give me the best chance

To get ahead right now

Then, somehow those memories fade

*

And sometimes

I’m still worried

About tomorrow

I don’t want to feel more pain

But if I eliminate doubt

And plan better right now

My efforts will not be in vain

**

We live in the now

We should learn from the past

And plan

for the best possible future

*

We make it some how

Make good moments last

Every day is this true healer’s new cure
