[INTRO – Spoken over warm bass and soft reggae guitar] Yesterday
has
already
spoken.
You
cannot
rewrite
it...
You
cannot
live
there
forever.
Take
the
lesson.
Leave
the
pain.
Because
your
past
may
explain
where
you've
been...
But
it
doesn't
decide
where
you're
going. ---
[VERSE 1] Maybe
you
trusted
the
wrong
people,
Maybe
you
walked
the
wrong
road,
Maybe
you
carried
some
decisions
That
became
a
heavy
load.
Maybe
the
door
was
wide
before
you,
But
you
were
too
afraid
to
try,
Now
you
keep
asking
yourself
questions: "
Why
didn't
I?" "
Why,
oh
why?"
But
yesterday
cannot
be
altered,
No
matter
how
many
tears
you
cry.
Take
the
wisdom
from
the
journey,
Lift
your
head
and
face
the
sky. ---
[CHORUS] Let
the
past
teach
you,
Don't
let
it
defeat
you.
Take
the
lesson,
But
don't
let
regret
control
you.
Every
stumble
taught
you
something,
Every
scar
has
made
you
wise.
The
past
should
be
your
teacher,
Never
let
it
be
your
prison.
Your
greatest
days
are
still
ahead...
So
rise!
Rise
again! ---
[VERSE 2] Every
setback
carries
lessons,
Every
failure
leaves
a
clue,
Every
disappointment
teaches
Something
you
once
never
knew.
You
cannot
change
the
road
behind
you,
But
you
can
choose
the
road
ahead.
Don't
keep
watering
yesterday
While
tomorrow's
dreams
are
left
for
dead.
Take
your
pain
and
turn
it
into
wisdom,
Take
your
tears
and
make
them
rain,
Let
them
water
new
beginnings
Till
your
garden
grows
again. ---
[CHORUS] Let
the
past
teach
you,
Don't
let
it
defeat
you.
Take
the
lesson,
But
don't
let
regret
control
you.
Every
stumble
taught
you
something,
Every
scar
has
made
you
wise.
The
past
should
be
your
teacher,
Never
let
it
be
your
prison.
Your
greatest
days
are
still
ahead...
So
rise!
Rise
again! ---
[BRIDGE – Music drops; deep reflective voice] Listen...
You
are
not
yesterday's
mistake.
You
are
not
the
opportunity
you
missed.
You
are
not
the
door
that
closed.
You
are
the
person
who
survived
it...
Learned
from
it...
And
lived
long
enough
to
knock
on
another
door.
So
don't
build
your
house
inside
yesterday.
Tomorrow
is
calling. ---
[VERSE 3 – Rhythm becomes brighter] Chart
another
path
with
courage,
Walk
with
confidence
again.
What
once
broke
you
gave
you
knowledge,
What
once
hurt
you
made
you
change.
There
are
opportunities
waiting,
There
are
mountains
left
to
climb,
There
are
chapters
still
unwritten,
There
are
victories
still
in
time.
Your
greatest
achievement
isn't
behind
you,
Your
finest
hour
may
yet
arrive.
As
long
as
hope
remains
within
you,
There
is
another
road
to
drive. ---
[FINAL CHORUS – Full backing vocals] Let
the
past
teach
you!
Don't
let
it
defeat
you!
Take
the
lesson,
But
don't
let
regret
control
you!
Every
stumble
taught
you
something,
Every
scar
has
made
you
wise.
The
past
should
be
your
teacher,
Never
let
it
be
your
prison!
Your
greatest
days
are
still
ahead...
Rise
again!
Your
story
isn't
finished...
Rise
again!
Better
days
are
waiting...
Rise
again!
Yesterday
taught
you...
Tomorrow
needs
you! ---
[OUTRO – Spoken over fading reggae guitar] Don't
curse
the
road
behind
you.
It
taught
you
how
to
walk.
Don't
spend
tomorrow
punishing
yourself
for
yesterday.
Learn.
Grow.
Move.
And
remember...
Your
past
may
be
part
of
your
story,
but
it
does
not
have
the
right
to
write
the
ending.
Let
the
past
teach
you...
Never
let
it
defeat
you.
