I sing these words so I won’t forget The good times and the bad that I have had I could easily ignore But they’ve made me what I am, the man I am Throughout the darkest times I could always count on friends They made me shine, and make me carry on That’s why I won’t look back Only straight ahead I started out with a bag of dreams But I’ve come to see that life has the final word I wanna say I’m a better man Tho I’ve made my share of mistakes along the way And thru the darkest times I could always count on friends They made me shine, and make me carry on That’s why I won’t look back Only straight ahead, always further ahead
