To be free of the past is a step at a time
there’s no determining reason or rhyme
different for all harder for some
the journey to what it is we are to become
Leaving behind those who were lies and pain
regaining what it feels like to be once again sane
time passes slowly healing in moments and what is true
turning once again making brand new
Those who have hurt you those who have lied
free now to turn and leave them aside
the love of someone who means it replacing the past
free in mind free in spirit freedom has come at last
The journey while painful teaching so much more
opening the soul to what is now in store
all of the past removed as if it were dead
looking forward now to only what is ahead
