Don't look back, ooh, a new day is breakin'
It's been too long since I felt this way
I don't mind, ooh, where I get taken
The road is callin', today is the day

I can see, it took so long just to realize
I'm much too strong not to compromise
Now I see what is holding me down
I'll turn it around
Oh, yes, I will

I finally see the dawn arrivin'
I see beyond the road I'm drivin'

It's a bright horizon, ooh, and I'm awaken
I see myself in a brand new way
The sun is shinin', ooh, the clouds are breakin'
'Cause I can't lose now, there's no game to play

I can tell there's no more time left to criticize
I've seen what I could not recognize
Everything in my life was leading me on
But I can be strong
Oh, yes I can

I finally see the dawn arrivin'
I see beyond the road I'm drivin'
Ooh, far away, I'm left behind, left behind

Oh, the sun is shining
And I'm on that road

Don't look back, ooh, a new day is breakin'
It's been so long since I felt this way
I don't mind, ooh, where I get taken
The road is callin', today is the day

I can see, it took so long just to realize
I'm much too strong not to compromise
Now I see what I am is holding me down
I'll turn it around
Oh, yes I will

I finally see the dawn arrivin'
I see beyond the road I'm drivin'
I'm far away and left behind

Don't look back

Don't look back

Don't look back

Don't look back
