A Bright and Shining Future
Don't let the pain continue,
make it find a new venue.
Life's too short to waste on the past,
and the past's too dull
when faced with the future.
A bright and shining future it is,
and no one will take it from me.
A bright and shining future it is,
mine for all eternity.
A lie caused me sorrow,
enough to last a lifetime,
and then the lie was gone.
The truth caused me pain,
enough to make me hate living,
and truth was all that remained.
A bright and shining future it is,
and no one will take it from me.
A bright and shining future it is,
mine for all eternity.
Who cares what is past is past,
and lies never really last.
The truth is all that matters to me
And the bright and shining future it'll be.
And what a bright and shining future it is,
and no one will take it from me.
A bright and shining future it is,
to last me all eternity.
