Another Chapter Lyrics

As we face forward

We seldom look back for guidance

Only to see what fell through the cracks

Never to see what could be

If we were to plan instead of simply act

The past could teach

Instead of sadden

The time is gone

All it does is madden

We spend our time

Looking over our shoulders

Learning nothing

As we keep getting older

But to stop in midstride

Or to slow down our pace

Would mean that we would lose the race

But all it takes to keep us going

Is to give us just a little taste

The past could teach

Instead of sadden

The time is gone

All it does is madden

We spend our time

Looking over our shoulders

Learning nothing

As we keep getting older

If your life was in a book

Would you take a look

To see how the story ends

Could you make the right revisions

Would you change the decisions

On which your path depends

So before the die is cast

We try to catch success

Before it slips away at last

And adds another chapter

Of pain and sorrow to our past
