As we look forward, we forget to look back
Look at what made us, look what we did
Look at our outsides, see what we hid
As we look forward, we hope to unpack
As we look forward, we forget to make space
Look at what shaped us, look at our grit
Look at what hurt us, made us unfit
As we look forward, we hope to hold grace
As we look forward, we forget what's inside
Look at our values, look how they lie
Look out of our own lives, ponder the why
As we look forward, we hope truth is our guide
As we look forward, we forget to stand up
Look at what happened, look what we lost
Look at the journey, consider the cost
As we look forward, we hope to build up
As we look forward, we forget to hold hands
Look at who came, look who is here
Look at who listened, who shed a tear
As we look forward, we hope love expands
As we look forward, we forget to teach
Look at our missteps, look what we learned
Look at our triumphs, trust that we earned
As we look forward, we hope for outreach
As we look forward, we forget where we are
Look at our station, look what it takes
Look at our children, honor the stakes
As we look forward, we hope better is not too far
As we look forward, look back again
Find the beginning to reach the end
As we look forward, look back and be brave
We do not know whose future we might save
