As a child I was told that I was destined to be nothing
Growing wild as I got older I fulfilled what had been said
Hiding ignorance and fear I prayed nobody saw me bluffing
But I was laying the foundation for a future I would dread
Yeah
Seems like every choice I made
Would somehow leave me second-guessing
'Bout the green grass I was passing
Racing toward the other side
I thank God for the blessing
That I finally learned this lesson:
One Step in the right direction's
Worth a wasted mile behind
Chorus:
Singin'
No more, lookin' over my shoulder
No more, hangin' on to the past
No more, filling up my tomorrows
With yesterday's sorrows
No more, lookin' over my shoulder
I could chill a room with reasons
Why I would not give forgiveness
To the people who had selfishly
L:eft me a wounded soul
I kept dragging 'round those memories
Like a ball and chain behind me
Wonderin' why my troubles followed me
Wherever I would go
Oh, but one night, sick and tired of being sick and tired
I realized forgiveness was the only open road
I swear I heard those shackles snap
The moment that I took that path
I never have one time looked back
Since the morning I arose
Growing wild as I got older I fulfilled what had been said
Hiding ignorance and fear I prayed nobody saw me bluffing
But I was laying the foundation for a future I would dread
Yeah
Seems like every choice I made
Would somehow leave me second-guessing
'Bout the green grass I was passing
Racing toward the other side
I thank God for the blessing
That I finally learned this lesson:
One Step in the right direction's
Worth a wasted mile behind
Chorus:
Singin'
No more, lookin' over my shoulder
No more, hangin' on to the past
No more, filling up my tomorrows
With yesterday's sorrows
No more, lookin' over my shoulder
I could chill a room with reasons
Why I would not give forgiveness
To the people who had selfishly
L:eft me a wounded soul
I kept dragging 'round those memories
Like a ball and chain behind me
Wonderin' why my troubles followed me
Wherever I would go
Oh, but one night, sick and tired of being sick and tired
I realized forgiveness was the only open road
I swear I heard those shackles snap
The moment that I took that path
I never have one time looked back
Since the morning I arose
