Anchored in the Past
©Tom Eslick 1996
Well, the notion that our love will last
Startles up my soul
It weaves a web of surety
And leaves me feeling whole
Yes, in this time of transience
When nothing seems to last
Our roots go down they fill the ground
Anchored in the past
Now I know that time is bound to change
All that we have known
And the weight of years holds us dear
And my how we have grown
From a tiny seed of hope and love
Our tree has bloomed so fast
And the roots go down they fill the ground
Anchored in the past
Now we can't see what lies ahead
No, there's nothing guaranteed
And we still must work for what we have
To keep what we both need
So we'll sail the seas of memory
On a ship that's fit to last
With a hearty crew of family, too
Anchored in the past
Yes, in this time of transience
When nothing seems to last
Our roots go down they fill the ground
Anchored in the past.
