And lo though I walk through this life with no regret
the shadows they follow me still
the past is gone but unforgotten as yet
it lingers at the corners against my will
And lo though I walk knowing it is better now
the stitches of the wounds remain
to completely erase rewind forget somehow
these things I cannot yet attain
And lo though I walk in love and light
the darkness that once was creeps in and out
even though I resist with all my might
just a little twinge just a little doubt
And lo though I walk renewed and stronger
the shadows remain just out of reach
wishing them gone to be here no longer
but there are still lessons they must teach
It is the struggles that makes us strong
