Lesson 10
“IN THE PAST”
The lyrics for my song "In the Past," summarize many concepts I’ve discussed for this course. Although my song seems focused on the past, each day I turn my focus more upon the present. I see my past as leading me to the beautiful place where I am living. Imagining and looking forward are signposts that have led me in beautiful directions. I hope the insights from "In the Past" and all of the songs for my course have been comforting. I truly wish to inspire optimism about healing. Even with a huge roadblock such as grief, it's possible to journey father than you might imagine at that moment. Let your dreams lead you to joy, keep your smile despite adversity, and remember love from all parts of your life.

lyrics

IN THE PAST

I look back, amazed at where I am today
There were times I almost gave up
Painful memories are in my past
I just didn’t know then
I’d live with joy again

I look ahead, my dreams are right in front of me
What threw me down gave me my strength
I’ve kept my smile through it all
I allowed myself to feel
and learned that I could heal

In the past are things I could regret
What I suffered through I can’t forget
Pain that made me cry
Gave me wings to fly

My journey is not about where I will go
Each day, I treasure my life
I’ve left behind the pain and chains
Every tragedy didn’t imprison me

In the past are things I could regret
I know how love once felt
I can’t forget
The strength to say goodbye
Gave me wings to fly

Once I felt hopeless and so alone
Now I’m soaring – I have flown

In the past are things I could regret
I know how love once felt
I can’t forget
Pain that made me cry
gave me wings to fly
Gave me wings to fly

Judy Unger Los Angeles, California

I have been an artist all of her life. Although I played classical guitar in college, I left music behind when I was 21. 30 years later, I began writing songs to help me cope with the challenges in my life. Many of my songs are dedicated to my son, Jason, who died in 1992. I love to inspire hope of healing with my music, because my songs have certainly healed me of any pain. ... more
