We Can't Turn Back

Lyrics

It's in the water, it's in the wind
 It's where you're going, it's where you've been
 It's what you're doing, what you don't
 It's what you're willing and what you won't
 A snow capped mountain, a moonlit path
 An ice-cold shower, a long hot bath
 It's something waiting for you just a little farther down the line
 You can't turn back now
 You can't turn back now
 It's too late to turn back now
 It's young and reckless, it's old and gray
 It's here tomorrow and gone today
 It's rich and famous, dark and dull
 Its Nostradamus meets Jethro Tull
 It knows your weakness, it feels your strength
 It jangle-jingles, clacks and clinks
 It's ever present, but it's also like there's nothing there at all
 You can't turn back now
 You can't turn back now
 It's too late to turn back now
 Democracy won't work (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) if we're asleep
 (Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up)
 That kind of freedom is a vigil you must keep
 Yeah, you've gotta dig deep
 It's a wicked world, and we're all in it
 But that could change in a New York minute
 Holy terror and toxic gas ain't got nothing on the leaves of grass
 So pray for peace until you're hoarse
 And maybe fear will run its course
 May God forgive us our insanity, and we'll keep pressing on
 You can't turn back now
 You can't turn back now
 It's too late to turn back now
 It's too late to turn back now
