The road before me stretches on
Into the unknown future
Behind me it reaches back
Into a past that is best forgotten

So many mistakes made back when
It was a time when youth held sway
With age comes wisdom, so they say
We understand where we went wrong

Excuses to ourselves we make
That lessons from life we've learned
No more, no more, these mistakes we'll make
We have journeyed on in life

The truth is known, if we admit
That in the same hole we will stumble
Young fool, old fool, it's all black and white
When love comes on the heart knocking
