You can't look back
But you can look on ahead
There's no sense of ease, no-one to please
But you carry on
You can't look so sad
You can't look down your nose
There's nothing to believe, no use in being
But you carry on

So cherish the days when we searched for caves
And paddled our feet in the midday heat
Your mother would scream if she heard you'd been
Well it's just as well we carried on and on and..........

This can't look so bad
Just 'cos you're on your own again
You're losing sleep, you don't know how to breathe
But you carry on
You can't look back
You can look on ahead
There's nothing to believe, all you do is weep
But you carry on

So cherish the days when we searched for caves
And paddled our feet out on the heath
My mother would scream if she heard you'd been
Well it's just as well we carried on and on and
