Don't Look Back

from The Damaged by Mark Alan Dooley

/

lyrics

Stop.
Don’t look back.
Let it go.
Just let go.
Don’t look back
Let it go.
Let go.
Let go.

You know my daddy was a proud man.
He never backed down or ran away.
I watched him tilt at every windmill,
While he dug an early grave.

The slightest injury,
Or insult to his name
He carried wrapped around his soul
Like Jacob Marley’s chain.

Stop.
Don’t look back.
Let it go.
Just let go.
Don’t look back
Let it go.
Let go.
Let go.

I grew up to be my daddy.
I was proud to bear his name.
Made my nickel-plated grudges
Into links for my own chain.

That weight was dragging down my soul.
Forgave them all and let it go.

Stop.
Don’t look back.
Let it go.
Just let go.
Don’t look back
Let it go.
Let go.
Let go.
