When things fail, learn from it, keep going and never look back!

I.

When you run as fast as you can

you don't look back.

You never look back!

II.

When the world explodes,

you don't look back.

You never look back!

III.

When a pillar of salt is your fate,

you don't look back.

You Never look back.

IV.

The fate, the dangers, the past

The hate, the anger, the present.

Put that far behind.

You don't look back

You never look back!

V.

That’s where it belongs

That’s where you keep it.

Never forward in your view.

Always put in the review mirror and

You don’t look back.

You never look back!
