I’ve dealt with my ghosts and faced all my demonsFinally content with a past I regret

“If you are feeling bad about something that you have done in your past, remember this, "You can't be who you are today, without being who you were in the past."

I’ve found you find strength in your moments of weaknessFor once I’m at peace with myself

“Our strength grows out of our weaknesses“

Ralph Waldo Emerson

"The concessions of the weak are the concessions of fear."

Edmund Burke

"You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong." Abraham Lincoln

The yielding of the weak is the concession to fear. Edmund Burke

I’ve been burdened with blame, trapped in the past for too longI’m movin’ on

Couldn’t take the burden of his alcohol problems any longer.

I’ve lived in this place and I know all the facesEach one is different but they’re always the same

They mean me no harm but it’s time that I face itThey’ll never allow me to change

But I never dreamed home would end up where I don’t belongI’m movin’ on

There comes a time in everyone’s lifeWhen all you can see are the years passing byAnd I have made up my mind that those days are gone

Then Now

I sold what I could and packed what I couldn’tStopped to fill up on my way out of town

I’ve loved like I should but lived likeI shouldn’tI had to lose everything to find out

Maybe forgiveness will find me somewhere down this roadI’m movin’ on

I’m movin’ onI’m movin’ on

“Nothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime,

Therefore, we are saved by hope.Nothing true or beautiful or good

makes complete sense in any immediate context of history;

Therefore, we are saved by faith.Nothing we do, however virtuous, can

be accomplished alone.Therefore, we are saved by love.No virtuous act is quite a virtuous

from the standpoint of our friend or foe as from our own;

Therefore, we are saved by the final form of love which is forgiveness.”

Reinhold Niebuhr
