Time to Turn the Page

Take one last look behind you, turn the page
Take a moment to remember, turn the page
and once you have remembered, let your memories forget
Then let your past be dead and buried, turn the page

It is time to keep on moving, turn the page
It is time to keep on growing, turn the page
It is time for moving onwards and never looking back
It is time to leave the past, so turn the page.

Take off that load you’ve carried, turn the page
Shake off the dust you’ve gathered, turn the page
All the demons you’ve collected or others laid on you
Cast them straight into their Hell, then burn the page

Wake up this morning brighter, turn the page
With a feeling of new lightness, turn the page
When you’ve cast off the darkness, which you’ve carried for so long
you are feeling so much stronger, turn the page

Take all the lessons that you’ve learned, turn the page
Turn your learning into wisdom,turn the page
Discounting wounds and Scars and Scores,heal them all and hurt no more
Be someone yet you could adore, turn the page

When you’ve gained from each new chapter, turn the page
When the words are all completed, turn the page
Then when you’ve read the whole damn book, and it’s not worth another look
It’s time to then forget it
Turn your last page.
