Keep moving forward

Cleveland Burton Jr 1994 (Louisiana)



Never forget how they made you feel
Never forget how they made you cry
Never forget what they’ve done to you
Never forget the times they told you lies

As you lay down tonight
Let your heart release and wash away the pain
Look forward to a new day
And all the positive people in your life you’ve gained

Let your soul be free
From the hurt you feel inside
Don’t carry on those feelings
That you pretend to hide

Live for the present
Forget about the past
Live each second of your life
As if it was last

Nobody is perfect
But you learn from your mistakes
Don’t go on living your life
Full of regrets, full of hate

At the end of the day
Or till your soul is call upon
It’s you who decide on your life
So live until your days are done…..
