If I Never Leave a History

There are times I wonder if time stood still

would I be safe from tomorrow

 Will I stay in one spot; or maybe not

 maybe tomorrow is better

Fear to fall yet drawn to dare

warning your getting too close to the edge

Who is this stranger staring back at me

where have I gone I don’t remember leaving…

This haven of history repeating itself

better the devil I know

And just when I thought I had it all figured out

my thoughts wandered another path

and the din of the crowd won’t shut them out

Why do I try to put the pieces in place

when the windows view has changed its face

I'm not the same as yesterday  - this day is history

How would I know how to forgive in my mind

if I never leave yesterday behind

and how would I know where it is I have to go

or where I want to stay

There’d be no point to dreaming a dream

How would I ever learn about me

how would I know how good it could be

I would never have another memory to remember

If I never leave a history behind
