A life sentence

Your past was just a lesson

Not a life sentence

Some will end up living in a constant state of penance

Your past is part of yesterday

It has to stay behind

Now it’s just a memory that lives inside your mind

Can’t get back what came before, 

It's something we can't do

A wise man told me this my friend and now I'm telling you

Live life in the moment, the best that you know how

Better not procrastinate,

do it here and now

In the present moment is where your life will be

Same advice I give to you this wise man gave to me

Some will end up living in a constant state of penance

Your past was just a lesson

 not a life sentence
