Time Machine
I remember when I wanted tomorrow
Yesterday, but it’s filled with sorrow.
I want to take it back a day and relive it.
If I had another chance I would give it
All of my heart, strength, and power.
Even if I only went back for an hour
I would be able to set things straight.
I would be able to start with a clean sleight.
I would stop all this pain and hate,
And I know everyone can relate,
Cuz we all start reminiscing,
And we know where we are, wasn’t our vision.
We saw ourselves on the mountain top,
And nothing could, or would ever stop
What we were planning,
And know we’re standing
At the bottom of that mountain
Searching for a youth fountain,
That will bring back the years past
Before we cast our last
Ship on this final journey
Into the abyss, and eternity.
You know, and I know that if we could
That, with no second thought, we would.
In the blink of an eye
Find a way to try
To tell that person that we’re in love,
Or stop and think before push comes to shove.
We would search for our white dove,
And that heavenly rainbow
That’s there to show
The sun will forever glow.
