Oh, my past just crossed my future
My past just crossed my future

Spent my childhood in a home for boarders
Never brought my folks much joy
Ah, with a wife and son, my whole world is changed
And my life, my life rearranged

"[?]", my folks told my son
Made him idolise the wrong I had done
Now my mind's exploding from my past reflections
As I watched him follow in that same direction

"History repeats itself"
So the preaching goes
"But don't ever cry over spilled milk"
Is another lesson in prose

But when it leaves a smart
That turns into a stand
That's locked into my heart and will always remain

Hey, there's an emptiness
That's filling up my tears
A lonely vision of all my past years
Now my past just crossed my future
My past has finally crossed my future

The day I see a mirror of yesterday
I thought my folks really old-fashioned
I was just a rebel without a cause
When they loved me with so much tenderness and passion

Will I like my folks
Bear the guilt and shame
Spend my whole life wondering if I'm to blame
Because yesterday and today's sorrow
Is just a blueprint of tomorrow

My past has finally crossed my future
My past just crossed my future

I'm caught up with the past
And finally passed my future
Done caught up with me now
And it's lost in my future
People, my past crossed my future
Every, every day
My past crossed my future
Don't seem to get away
My past just crossed my future
Hey now, my past just crossed my future
Hey people now, my past has caught up with me ...
