CD: No More Looking Over My Shoulder.

As a child I was told
That I was destined to be nothing
Growing wild as I got older
I fulfilled what had been said,
Hiding ignorance and fear
I prayed nobody saw me bluffing,
But I was laying the foundation
For a future I would dread,
Yeah! Hmmmmm

Seems like every choice I made
Would somehow leave me second guessing,
"Bout the green grass I was passing
Racing towards the other side,
I thank God for the blessing,
That I finally learned this lesson,
One step in the right direction's
Worth a wasted mile behind,

No more lookin" over my shoulder,
No more hangin' onto the past.
No more fillin' up my tomorrows,
with yesterday's sorrows,
No More Looking Over My Shoulder.

I could chill a room
With reasons why I would not give forgiveness,
To the people who had selfishly
Left me a wounded soul,
I kept dragging 'rounds those memories,
Like a ball and chain behind me,
Wonderin' why my troubles folloewd me
Wherever I would go
Oh, but one night,
Sick and tired of bein' sick and tired,
I realized forgiveness was the only open road,
I swear I heard those shackles snap,
The moment that I took that path,
I never have one time looked back,
Since the morning I arose,

No more lookin' over my shoulder,
No more hangin' onto the past.
No more fillin' up my tomorrows,
With yesterday's sorrows,
No More Looking Over My Shoulder.

No More lookin' over my shoulder,
No more hangin' on to the past,
No more fillin' up my tomorrow's,
With yesterdays sorrow
No More, No more. No, No No More

No more lookin' over my shoulder,
No more hangin' onto the past.
No more fillin' up my tomorrows,
With yesterday's sorrows,
No More Looking Over My Shoulder.
