You have the key

Oh little one
You walk so far alone
Carry things from long ago
Knives of memory and gentle strangers

Don’t they always say:

You can’t buck that feeling
Can’t escape what you were
Not escape tomorrow
Because of yesterday

Turn again
See the keys of happiness
Once again that golden thread
Live without regret

Don’t they always say:

You can’t buck that feeling
Can’t escape what you were
Not escape tomorrow
Because of yesterday

You have the key,
You have the key my darling
You have the key, little one
Let go of yesterday

Don’t they always say:

You can’t buck that feeling
Can’t escape what you were
Not escape tomorrow
Because of yesterday

Fingers slip on precipice
Now falling far and fast
All your lessons done
Learn to smile

You have the key,
You have the key my darling
You have the key, little one
Let go of yesterday

You have they key of happiness
