Second track from my CD Heading for the Sun. This song matches good instrumental interplay between the guitar and organ along with lyrics reflecting on loss opportunity making this song rock.

lyrics

Past Lives
Lyrics and Music: John P. Flynn

Intro

Verse 1
Things remembered, from history's past
seems so much better then, the view of always looking back
Blinded by, our naive eyes
thought we knew whats best for us, we didn't have a clue as why.

Verse 2
The generation, of 69
we would teach the world to sing, peace and love for all mankind
The 70's came, and the 80's too
the 90's have come and gone, they slipped by us too.

Chorus
We live, in the past (4x)

Verse 3
We are born, from others past
Handed down a legacy, the future is our pass
Old solutions, with no resolve
Doom to make the same mistakes, that ruined it before

Chorus
Because we live in the past
We live in the past
We live in the past
We live in the past

Solo

Bridge
Come and Gone, world solutions
Come and Gone, opportunity
Come and Gone, understanding
Come and Gone, and security
Come and Gone, broken friendships
Come and Gone, broken dreams
Come and Gone, expectations
Come and Gone, you and me

Chorus
Cause we live in the past
Our hope and dreams have come and gone, we thought they always last
Cause we live in the past
We live in the past

We live, cause we live, in the past, ah in the past
We live, cause we live, in the past, in the past
We live, cause we live, in the past, in the past
Cause we live, in the past.

Solo out.
