It's a song about personal growth and healing. We, as humans, hang on to negatives or grudges way too long. Just let it go - you'll feel better.
Lyrics
Looking back on all I've done
I'd like to make right with those I've wronged
Yesterday, let's leave it in the past
We can't change it anyway
Let's commit to start a new
Find a simpler state of mind
All it takes is one warm embrace
And we'll be doing fine
If I can change, I know you can change
Maybe we'll see eye to eye
Take my hand and help me to understand
Who I am and who I long to be
What does it take to change the essence of a man
I do believe it takes a little more than time
Forgive the trespasses and live in the now
Do this and we'll be on our way
If I can change, I know you can change
Maybe we'll see eye to eye
Take my hand and help me to understand
Who I am and who I long to be
