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
