Learning From The Past

Verse 1

I remember that old dirt road,

Where I learned to drive too fast,

Thought I knew it all back then,

Didn't think about the past\.

Daddy said, "Son, you'll stumble,

Everybody does sometimes,

What matters is you get back up,

And leave the wrong behind\."

Pre-Chorus

Every scar has got a story,

Every tear can make us strong,

Sometimes knowing where we've been

Is how we find where we belong.

Chorus

We're learning from our past,

Taking every lesson as it comes,

From the things that didn't last

To the battles that we've won\.

We can't change yesterday,

But tomorrow's ours to choose,

If we learn from our mistakes,

We don't have to lose.

Yeah, we're learning from our past,

And that's how we make a better life.

Verse 2

I remember my first heartbreak,

Thought my world had come undone,

Spent a thousand lonely nights

Wishing she was still the one\.

But time showed me the reason

That some goodbyes have to be,

Sometimes losing someone's love

Is how you find yourself to be\.

Pre-Chorus

Every road can teach direction,

Every wrong turn leaves a sign,

And the wisdom that we're gaining

Is worth more than gold sometimes.

Chorus

We're learning from our past,

Taking every lesson as it comes,

From the things that didn't last

To the battles that we've won.

We can't change yesterday,

But tomorrow's ours to choose,

If we learn from our mistakes,

We don't have to lose.

Yeah, we're learning from our past,

And that's how we make a better life.

Bridge

So here's to all the chances

That we wish we'd taken back,

Here's to all the broken dreams

That put us on a different track.

We may carry yesterday,

But it doesn't have to hold us down,

Sometimes the greatest wisdom

Comes from turning life around.

Final Chorus

We're learning from our past,

Taking every lesson as it comes,

From the things that didn't last

To the battles that we've won.

We can't change yesterday,

But tomorrow's ours to choose,

And every step we take

Can make an old dream new.

Yeah, we're learning from our past,

One day at a time, we're moving on,

Learning from our past

To find where we belong.

Outro

Yeah, the past is where we've been,

Not the place we're gonna stay...

We're learning from our past,

And making a better tomorrow today.
