Lyrics
EYES STRAIGHT AHEAD
Verse I much too often fell in the trap of looking back
haunted by choices that always lead me off track
consumed with my thoughts of perhaps if I had
things would have turned good instead of going bad
can't go back and change what happened then
time to move forward, beyond that time of when
Chorus Eyes Straight Ahead
to the future, not the past instead
can't go back to what's been done & said
it's about tomorrow & what lies ahead
Verse II
made my choices, for better or worst
not gonna be the last, striving to be first
it won't be easy, but won't have it any other way
where I headed, gonna give it my best each day
what each day holds, time itself soon will tell
I'm committed to success, determined not to fail
Bridge: Yesterday's spoken for; its tomorrow I stand to claim
Promises not fulfilled, means things remain the same
Made my decision and now I know what I must do
Actions not words are what shall make this come true
Chorus & Out Eyes Straight Ahead
to the future, not the past instead
can't go back to what's been done & said
it's about tomorrow, & that which lies ahead
