Verse 1.
I woke up one mornin', and as I lay on my bed,
I started thinking about my life, many things went through my head;
I thought about the good times I've had, the things of which I'm proud;
I thought about my deepest regrets, and from that time on I vowed:
That I would . . .
Chorus:
Learn from the past; look to the future;
Live my life today, to make the future bright.
Verse 2.
It's sure made a difference, living each day as I do;
I feel content within myself, when each day is through.
And I have found a feeling of peace, that many do not find;
I live a life with fewer regrets, ever since I made up my mind:
That I would . . .
Chorus:
Learn from the past; look to the future;
Live my life today, to make the future bright.
Verse 3.
Won't you think about it? Won't you give it a try?
There's so much hurt we can help to heal as we reach out to the human cry.
In giving, though we lose ourselves for others - you will find,
We really come to find ourselves, I know, I have since I made up my mind:
That I would . . .
Chorus:
Learn from the past; look to the future;
Live my life today, to make the future bright.
Learn from the past; look to the future;
Live my life today, to make the future bright.
to make the future bright.
