Never Look Back Lyrics

A young man carried thoughts that weighed
upon his mind
Unanswered questions of life, love and time
How did I reach this point
This was not the plan
This cannot be my life
I must begin again

He would pray to his god
And hope he'd understand
But always the answer

You can never go back
Decreed the life giver
Time is a forward flowing river
Never look back, your fate is in motion
Surging onward to an ocean

Bowed but unbroken he ran it through his mind
Determined to capture a way to alter time
How could it be that I only get one bite
A wrong path had been taken
It had to be put right

He turned himself to science
To satisfy his demand
And soon came an answer

You can never go back
We can only remember
Time is a forward flowing river
Never look back, fly fast to the ocean
Turn your fate while it's in motion

Thirty years have gone and he's looking back
Would be overwrite it all if he could
Through the arc of memory strangely satisfied
With the time he was given

You can never go back
Decree of the life giver
TIme is a forward flowing river
Never look back, your fate is in motion
Surging onward to an ocean
