You Won’t Look Back

I have reclaimed my tomorrow
Yeah, I've seen a holy vision
And I have offered up my sorrow
Now I am not looking for permission

I'm leaving home to find you
I hope that you never do forget
Or I hope that time still reminds you
To savor all of the time that you've got left

A shadow takes you by the hand
And leads you down that darkening path
And if I don’t see your face again
That’s just cause I know you won’t look back
And a shadow never leaves a track

But leaving for good
Was so much easier back then
And when I’m just so all alone
I wonder if I’ll ever see old friends again

But when I get there to get you
Oh it won’t matter where we’ve been
No, all that matters is where I’ve left you
And just how I’m gonna make it right again

A shadow traced me where I stand
And disappear down my darkening path
If I don’t see your face again
It’s cause I’m still wandering blind in the black
And you don’t, you won’t look back

But I've found a new tomorrow
And I’ll find my way outta prison
Oh I am trading up my sorrow
And accepting the Lord’s holy mission

There’s a certain sort of aching
A pain like ripples in the sea
Eight billion human hearts all breakin'
And they ring those seven bells inside of me

A shadow fell across this land
It followed us down that darkening path
Cause there’s a light that shines in man
That the darkness has got to have
And when it’s gone you won’t look back
