William Elliott Whitmore - History lyrics

History walks beside me Teaches me everything it can Obscured by the fog of memory Makes it hard to understand I won't do what they did I'm gonna learn from their mistakes And keep a level head I won't be slain by the holy ghost So don't come at me with that song and dance Like distances that keep us close The past can make the present tense I won't do what they did I'm gonna learn from their mistakes And keep a level head Won't repeat on tragic history Come now child and walk beside me We'll learn everything we can I keep my eyes on a forward path Someday we will understand I won't do what they did I'm gonna learn from their mistakes And keep a level head Won't repeat on savage history Won't repeat on tragic history
