The Bags That I Carried For Too Long

I must remember when I forget  

The bags that I carried for too long 

Where I am and where I've been  

The weight of some bags I quickly regret  

Though some clung tightly to old bonds  

I must remember when I forget  

There’s a time to restart and a time to reset 

But there's often a fear of what's longed

I know where I am and where I've been  

There’s no point in storing old debt  

I must release what I have before dawn  

I must remember when I forget  

Look to see what is still overhead  

Though in the past I do not belong 

I know where I am and where I’ve been 

All that once was is eventually dead  

So never hold on to what’s gone 

I must remember when I forget  

Where I am and where I've been
