Akira The Don, Berton Braley - Start Where You Stand lyrics

Start where you stand and never mind the past
The past won't help you in beginning anew
And if you have left it all behind at last
Why, that's enough, you're done with it
You're through
Start where you stand and never mind the past
The past won't help you in beginning anew
And if you have left it all behind at last
Why, that's enough, you're done with it
You're through

This is another chapter in the book
This is another race that you have planned
Don't give the vanished days a backward look
Start whеre you stand, start where you stand

Thе world won't care about your old defeats
If you can start anew and win success
The future is your time, and time is fleet
There is much of work and strain and stress
Forget the buried woes and dead despairs
Here is a brand new trial right at hand
The future is for him who does and dares
Start where you stand, start where you stand

Start where you stand and never mind the past
The past won't help you in beginning anew
And if you have left it all behind at last
Why, that's enough, you're done with it
You're through
Start where you stand and never mind the past
The past won't help you in beginning anew
And if you have left it all behind at last
Why, that's enough, you're done with it
You're through

Old failures will not halt, old triumphs aid
Today's the thing, tomorrow soon will be
Get in the fight and face it unafraid
And leave the past to ancient history
What's been, has been yesterday is dead
And by it you are neither blessed nor banned
Take courage, man, be brave and drive ahead
Start where you stand, start where you stand

Start where you stand and never mind the past
The past won't help you in beginning anew
And if you have left it all behind at last
Why, that's enough, you're done with it
You're through
Start where you stand and never mind the past
The past won't help you in beginning anew
And if you have left it all behind at last
Why, that's enough, you're done with it
You're through
