∞ LOOKING BEHIND ∞

It seems God made us with our eyes in the front to look to the future,
Not in the back of our head to look behind on what we know is sure.

How could you ever proceed on the winding, mysterious road of life ahead?
If the substance of your soul was to be nourished on things you've already been feed?

It's always refreshing to look behind and remember the things that got you here,
But in researching those times were they not made of moments that contained fear?

I look behind and wonder how things might have been,
I smile to the future hoping to see you once again.

One foot behind the other makes it impossible to move,
One foot in front of the other proceeding with your spirit to prove.

I look behind on things and wonder if I can change my way,
I search to the future hoping to improve myself each and every day.

Looking behind I have so many special memories of you
Looking to the future excited about the many things we can do.

So when you walk with me I want you to know one thing you will find,
I am anticipating the future; I am not the kind to forever look behind.
