Lyrics
Straight Ahead
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's a cast of thousands here, livin' in my head
All tryin' to talk at once, saying I'm better off better off
As I tread the tightrope, between demons and saints
They gather round, but I fix my gaze
Straight ahead, through the storm
Let it rage, let it pour down
Straight ahead, somehow
I'll walk on, and I won't turn back now
Suzy works the night shift, and johnny stays at home
Three kids, and a lot of bills, wearin' hand-me-down clothes
They might not have a lot, but at the end of the day
They're holdin' on, and they’re keepin' faith
Straight ahead, through the storm
Let it rage, let it pour down
Straight ahead, somehow
I'll walk on, and I won't turn back now
Each alone on winding roads, hopeful hearts will fight on
Straight ahead, through the storm
Let it rage, let it pour down
Straight ahead, somehow
I'll walk on, and I won't turn back now
Straight ahead, through the storm
Let it rage, let it pour down
Straight ahead, somehow
I'll walk on, and I won't turn back now
Ooh ooh, no, I won’t turn back, ooh ooh, no, I won’t turn back
Ooh ooh, no, I won’t turn back, ooh ooh, no, I won’t turn back
Ooh ooh, no, I won’t turn back, ooh ooh, no, I won’t turn back
Ooh ooh, no, I won’t turn back, ooh ooh, no, I won’t turn back
Straight ahead through the storm
No, I won’t turn back, no, I won’t turn back
Straight ahead through the storm
No, I won’t turn back, no, I won’t turn back
