The Past Cannot Change Our Song

The past cannot change my song
Neither should the dreams of the future

Sweep my tune away
For my song is strongest
When I reside in today
No more hurrying and scurrying
Rushing down that road
Looking for someone
To fill in the missing years

My song is my strength
And in it I find a light
To guide me home
To the bright morning,
Free.

And so I ask you:
In the midst of chaos, how do you find peace?
