Wake up in the morning I struggle to my feet One old friend One new hope Won't accept defeat To the mirror Dim the light Cause it won't lie Will she even recognize me Right before her eyes If it's up to me There would be no looking back No don't look back How it's gonna be I'm on a one way track On a road back at light speed If it's up to me There would be no looking back I can't look back Can't read the paper So far too close to home Will I spend my last days Scarred and all alone To serve my country Do what's right A pledge I swore Now deemed unfit For my new life Fighting someone else's war If it's up to me There would be no looking back No don't look back How it's gonna be I'm on a one way track On a road back at light speed If it's up to me There would be no looking back I can't look back Can't wait to see you baby I'm coming home this time to say Everyone is bound to see My youth is worn away I'll be hoping But I'll accept what you decide Can a heart Help eyes to see The beauty still inside If it's up to me There would be no looking back I can't look back How it's gonna be I'm on a one way track On a road back at light speed If it's up to me There would be no looking back I can't look back
