The Past Forever gone

Some time ago, when he was young
Into the world, he was flung
Not knowing what he was destined to do
Maybe it was, the same for you

But anyway, he followed the crowd
In retrospect, he’s not that proud
That he did not, follow his dream
Because at the time it seemed, too extreme

The past, forever gone
Did he do right, or was he wrong

The past, forever gone
Did he do right, or was he wrong

He had a life, that did go well
If he'd done things differently, well who can tell?
He made his mark, in an unexceptional way
But look where he stands, in the world today

The past, forever gone
Did he do right, or was he wrong

A diamond in the rough
Did he do enough?
Did he have the right stuff
