don't you dare
to find yourself from the inside out
you know what you've been walking from
don't you dare look back now
you know that the journey is long and tiresome
don't you dare look back now
you know that soon the goal will be complete
don't you dare look back now
keep on marching, marching forward
don't you dare look back now
please don't worry that things aren't perfect
don't you dare look back now
even when no one sees it, keep working
don't you dare look back now
when others would have eased off sooner
don't you dare look back now
as you can imagine what others might say
don't you dare look back now
you can't help but smile at the distance
don't you dare look back now
all it takes a little hope and love
don't you dare look back now
to find yourself from the inside out
to find yourself from the inside out
