Don’t Judge the Past
Copyright 2018 Kathy Holmes

Intro

The wisest thing my mother ever said
Don’t judge the past
Don’t judge the past
Don’t judge the past by the present

Verse

Why did you do oh the things you used to do
Why did you choose to wear red over blue
Why did you hurt me by the choices that you made
Was it love or just a roll in the hay?

Chorus

Don’t judge the past
Don’t judge the past
Don’t judge the past by the present

Verse

You can’t understand who you are at last
Wearing glasses without looking at the past
Seeing clearly who people were back then
Girls were women and boys were men

Chorus

Don’t judge the past
Don’t judge the past
Don’t judge the past by the present

Bridge

Today’s single mother
Yesterday’s broken daughter
Raised by stepfathers
Half sisters and half brothers

Chorus

Don’t judge the past
Don’t judge the past
Don’t judge the past by the present
