Don't Look Back

Everyday the population is growing
And to find some peace of mind is something rare
Don't you get discouraged keep on going
And don't you mind the way that the people turn and stare

Now how long can you keep on feeling guilty
And tell me why should you feel bad about feeling good
Don't you know that the world is cold and filthy
Yes, it is but if you're a special child

They know sometimes you'll be misunderstood
You can never look back, yesterday is dead and gone
Don't you look back, your tomorrow is here today

Keep on fighting, a quitter never wins
Hold your breath stick out your chin
Count to ten start again, everybody wants to be somebody

But they can't seem to see the forest
For the trees, we just can't let our past
Hold back our future, no, no, when it's all over but the shouting

Nothing is left but memories
Looks like you could use a little bit of happiness
Now I know that its really hard to find
But you owe it to yourself to have the very best

And only a fool will try to catch up to what he has left behind
You can never look back, no, no, 'cause yesterday is dead and gone
Don't you look back, your tomorrow is here today

And when you're crying, you need someone to hold on to
It's not the end of the world my friend, tip your hat
Start again and keep a positive direction, keep your vision
Straight ahead, you can't lose with the stuff you use
We've come too far just to turn around

Don't you look back, yesterday is dead and gone
Don't you look back, your tomorrow is on the way
And if you're fighting, people, a quitter never wins

Hold your breath stick out your chin, count to ten
Start again, don't you look back, no, no
Don't look back, no, 'cause we've come much too far

Just to turn around, don't you look back
Don't you look back now, yesterday is dead and gone
Don't you look back, your tomorrow is here today

And when you're crying, 'cause all your friends have forsaken you
It's not the end of the world my friend, just tip your hat
Start again, keep on steppin' yawl, don't look back
Don't turn your head around, get up, get out on the good foot
Keep on fightin,' yeah, hold your breath

Stick out your chin, count to ten and start again don't try it
You got to keep on movin' yawl, get, get, get up on the good foot
