Leaving what is behind, I press on to the high goals of the future.
Real lyrics for real people caught in life's situations.
We wanted to write songs that would touch people and that Mary enjoyed singing. Dad wrote all the songs, and various friends and family musicians helped on the recordings.
These are the final mixes!!
Story behind the song
I had a dream that applied to me; but I thought it would be a great message for others, also.
Lyrics
I’m Never Looking Back
Copyright 2005 By Jon Shinaberry
Verse1
I was walking around in my dreams. That’s how real it seemed to me.
There was a house full of furniture. (And) Room after room was covered with dust.
Oh, how it must have been full of life at one time.
That’s how real it seemed. Oh, that’s how real it seemed.
Chorus
I’m gonna leave the past behind. I’m never looking back anymore.
Here is the key, I’m locking the door.
Yeah, oh, I’m never looking back anymore.
Yeah, oh, no more. I’m never looking back anymore.
Verse 2
This is the meaning of my dream. (From) All of the hurts that were done to me,
I built my walls from the broken promises. Time after time I learned not to trust.
Oh, how I must have been full of life at one time.
What’s become of my hopes and dreams? What’s become of my dreams?
Chorus
I’m gonna leave the past behind. I’m never looking back anymore.
Here is the key, I’m locking the door.
Yeah, oh, I’m never looking back anymore.
Yeah, oh, no more. I’m never looking back anymore.
Bridge
I’m gonna live my life like it’s meant to be. I’m gonna walk into my destiny.
I’m gonna trust in God to set me free.
I’m gonna live my life again. I’m gonna live my life.
Chorus
I’m gonna leave the past behind. I’m never looking back anymore.
Here is the key, I’m locking the door.
Yeah, oh, I’m never looking back anymore.
Yeah, oh, no more. I’m never looking back.
