Change

Times are changing
Faces are ageing
New people, new places
New games to be playing.
Look back with pride
Dwell not on the then
The present and future won't hold.

No pause for tomorrow,
No delay for today,
Grasp it and seize it,
Or watch it all slip away.
You were too late,
Too stuck in the past
Now that's all over,
Over too fast?

I don't make the choices
They're all in your head
This is what you want,
It has to be said,
Let go of those grudges,
Show no regret.
Look forward, not backwards
Forgive and forget.

What's done now can't hurt you
That's what tomorrow is for
A world up to you,
Right on your door.

Look not through their eyes
"The prophets of truth"
This life is your life
Stop being elusive.
Quit holding to solace,
There's a whole world out there
A world that is your world
No others should care.

Let pain not distract you,
And love not constrict you,
Dwell not on the past
And it shall not despair you.
Tomorrow holds promise
May the New Year contrast
Bring forth a new day
For now is the past.
