Forgotten Heroes

By Phillip Hennessy

You cannot move on, without letting go
You won’t move along, with your Past still on show
Take what you want, or leave it behind
For what lies ahead, is all in your mind

When it’s out of your head, and into your Life
Then the past is all dead, and you come Alive
Each step that you take is another step closer
There is no mistake, it’s time to say “NO, sir!”

When you’ve made up up your mind and your vision is clear
Don’t be cruel, just be kind, your mission’s not fear.!

We’re all moving on, alongside of you
For those left behind are inside you, too
You cannot share your heart with them
Without becoming part of them
So focus on Love, and that’s what you get
It’s time to move on, it’s time to forget

Forgotten Heroes and ill-gotten zeros
Are no use to you, when you’re sayin' “Cheerio”
Look straight ahead, with a smile on your face
‘cause you’re being led to a different place
