They tell us not to look back but why?
They tell us to forget about the past
Why do they not tell us to remember?
To remember all the good in our livesWe need to remember who we were and remember who we want to be
Look back on our roots and see how far we've came
Remember the bad in our lives and take a minute to reflect
Show ourselves what we have becomeStart off by thinking and your mind will go mad
All the memories flowing, most good, some bad
Surprise ourselves by what we did
Learn from our mistakes once moreRemember all our relationships and who we did love
Look at all our hard work and what it gave us
Just look back and be proud,
Proud of yourselfRemember the not so nice things and be confident coming to terms with them
It will be hard but you will feel better
Just show everyone who you are now
And remember who you were
