The Lyrics
In the beginning I was just a little boy
Playing in the dirt, with some old toys.
When growing-up I saw my daddy die
That just broke me, so much pain.
So, I left my South American little town
Looking to make my mark in the World.
Today I am Old, Tired and decided
to Never look back…
Thrown in the fire
Conquered all the flames
Forged on the Rock
sunburns are to blame.
Gifted this life, embracing the LORD’s gain
I am converted by HIM and HIS grace
To Never look back…
B’Cause I Never looked back.
Never looked back (Never)
Never looked back.
Never looked back.
Never looked back.
I fought the good fight
The race is won
The faith is kept
Never looked back…
Tomorrow I die
My spirit to the LORD returns
My soul’s asleep, my body rests.
I long for HIS light and wait for HIS return
Never looking back…
B’Cause I Never looked back.
Never looked back (Never)
Never looked back.
Never looked back.
Never looked back.
I fought the good fight
The race is won
The faith is kept
Never looking back.
