I'm trying to look forward
I'm trying to go on
I'm trying to forget the things
My life was based upon
I'm looking for a foothold
I'm waiting for a tug
But yesterday is crawling
Out from underneath the rug
It is creeping through my doorway
A reminder and a plea
For all the things of yesterday
I still refuse to see
It simply would not lie there
And it would not gather dust
Until I put right all the things
We both know that I must
So I will turn and face it
And not push it back behind
And hope that I can conquer
Any shadows I may find
