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.

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…
