Starting Gate

starting gate

yanno they say,
certain amount of looking back is healthy
and Lord knows, i'm guilty
been there in the back for a long time
just thoughts running through my mind
dreams i wanna chase
maybe win a race....or two
trying to learn from the past
cause i remember it
and then i remember you

now i'm long gone
over you
now i just find you in the songs
there's plenty to remind me
of where i've been
my mind spinning
yea you know how
to still get to me
you're still winning

gotta remember that's not where i'm goin
got the Lord showin
me where he wants me to be
shining a light where i'm goin
knowing that you
wont follow me

now i'm long gone
over you
now i just find you in the songs
there's plenty to remind me
of where i've been
my soul spinning
yea you know how
to still get to me
even though we've ended

gotta cross my heart
whenever you cross my mind
follow the path
the shot in the dark
God lighting the way
not going to be where i've
already been there
no, not going to stay
not afraid
make a new way

now i'm long gone
over you
now i change the song
been there in the back for a long time
just thoughts running through my mind
dreams i wanna chase
ive got a standing start
left the starting gate
