History

History walks beside me
Teaches me everything it can
Obscured by the fog of memory
Makes it hard to understand
I won't do what they did
I'm gonna learn from their mistakes
And keep a level head
I won't be slain by the holy ghost
So don't come at me with that song and dance
Like distances that keep us close
The past can make the present tense
I won't do what they did
I'm gonna learn from their mistakes
And keep a level head
Won't repeat on tragic history
Come now child and walk beside me
We'll learn everything we can
I keep my eyes on a forward path
Someday we will understand
I won't do what they did
I'm gonna learn from their mistakes
And keep a level head
Won't repeat on savage history
Won't repeat on tragic history
