No matter how far
. . . No matter how fast
No matter how long
. . . You can't outrun your past
It is yours, and yours alone
. . . To possess and own
Not even the omnipotent
. . . In all His power and wisdom
Can make that that once was
. . . As though it had never been
There's no reaching for the future
. . . While clinging to the past
Look too long in the rearview
. . . And you're going to crash
. . . There's no future in the
past
The landscape is everchanging
. . . As time marches on
I wander through the night
. . . Searching for the dawn
Evil lurks in the darkness
. . . Shadows dance in the light
The mind will play its trickery
. . . And the heart will have to
fight
We fear the shadows
. . . That lie before our plight
But they serve only to remind us
. . . We are not abandoned to the
night
For, where there's a shadow
. . . There's a light
Yea, though I walk through the
valley of the shadow of death
. . . I shall not fear
. . . I do not walk alone
As a new day dawns
. . . I am blinded by the light
The truth that is revealed
. . . When the Son is in your eyes
I am not forsakend
. . . But forgiven
I am not condemned
. . . But redeemed
I am not abandoned
. . . But adopted
I am a son
. . . A son of the only living God
Yesterday has come and gone
. . . 'Carpe Diem'
. . . I shall seize the day
I am not a victim of who I was
. . . But the pursuer of all that I
shall become
So, once again, I turn my eyes
. . . To the path that lies ahead
Perfection is the direction
. . . Not the destination
So its onward, foreword, upward
. . . In pursuit of destiny
I venture into the great unknown
. . . To the very precipice of me
Standing on the edge
. . . New horizons do I see
As I peer into the morrow
. . . I glimpse eternity
. . . 'Carpe Diem' . . .
