The Past It Has Gone

Some tell us from life we receive our due
But others will tell you that this is not true
We learn as we live something new every day
We never stop learning since life is this way

Some people waste their time regretting their mistakes of the past
Whilst the clock on their lives ever keeps ticking fast
But the past we can only learn from and life does go on
And at the stroke of midnight today will be gone

To live in the now is the best we can do
This applies to me and will apply to you
We only have memories of the past and the future a mystery
And as is often said what will be will be

The past it has gone and what is done is done
And tomorrow will dawn but not for everyone
We can only live in the now and the now is today
And the clocks on our lives ever ticking away.
