Can't Turn Back

(Album: Trapeze: The Collection - 2002)

Knew he was a misfit since the age of seventeen
He had to do it his way they said, he should be quarantined
Looking to the East, and looking to the West
Looking for the courage, to see which way was the best

Cause you can't turn back (can't turn back) oh, no

Look out on his right, he would look out on his left
He would look out in the distance, where he could see the wilderness
When the thunderhead approached, he would pull off to the side
And when the sun would break through, he would get back out and ride

Cause you can't turn back (can't turn back) oh, no
No, you can't turn back (can't turn back) oh, no

You can try to see the forest for the trees, the wind storm for the breeze
No one ever said that it would be that easy
You make your way through the debris, stand up for your beliefs
Even though the world might say you're crazy

Always had the feeling he would get out alive
But the more that he sees of it, then the less he fantasized
Though he lost a bit of freedom, he had traded it for love
You know he'd fight for it if that push came to shove

Cause you can't turn back (can't turn back) oh, no
No, you can't turn back (can't turn back) oh, no
No, you can't turn back (can't turn back) oh, no...

Stand back!

No, you can't turn back (can't turn back) oh, no
No, you can't turn back (can't turn back) oh, no
No, you can't turn back (can't turn back) oh, no
No, you can't turn back (can't turn back)
Stand up (can't turn back)
Stand up, stand up (can't turn back)
Oh, no...
