Sunlight and Shadows


All Things New

I will not walk that road again

I will not walk it, not begin

I will not do what I did when

I turned onto it way back then

I will not sing that song once more

I will not sing it, not restore

The past of loss that came before

I will not let its false notes soar

I will not think those thoughts anew

I will not think them, not review

I will not drag my present through

What’s passed away, no longer true

But I will walk a brand new way

And I will sing new songs today

And I will think and I will say

To in the fresh, whole present stay
