I'm like the past
Follow not far behind
Better off left forgotten
Always here to remind

I'm like the past
Blamed for things that go wrong
Sometimes learned as a lesson
Often sung in a song

I'm like the past
I have come and I've gone
There is no way to change me
You should just move along

I'm like the past
For the lessons I teach
Revolutions created
And the future I will reach

I'm like the past
Some try so hard to hold
Manipulated into
Your mind’s unique mold
