Looking back I see myself
A lonely little thing
Cowering in a corner
At the approach of each new day
Looking back I have to say
I don’t quite understand
How I could be so different, now
From who I was back then
Now I run toward the dawn!
I greet the newborn day!
Trying to catch the smallest glimpse
Of what future waits for me
But tomorrow never comes
Now I’m looking behind me
To see if I’m being chased
But the only thing that haunts me
Is the truth of yesterday
So I look forward to the future
And run toward the light
I know the shadows will be behind me
When I’m looking back.
