When you're alone, suddenly alone,
You feel so blue, empty, abandoned,
Write a book, write a song, but don't you give up.
Look straight ahead, don't look back!

When your wishes, don't seem fulfilled,
When warmest dreams seem so cold,
Write a book, write a song, but don't you give up.
Look straight ahead, don't look back!

Every person needs a goal in his lifetime.
If you've talent, use it, don't wait for luck.
For we all have known low points in our past time,
Don't be unhappy - don't look back!

Do you feel des'prate, totally des'prate?
Do you feel used and so abused?
Write a book, write a song, but don't you give up.
Look straight ahead - don't look back!

When you feel that it's the end,
Don't give up, just take a stand.
Write a book, write a song, but don't you give up.
Look straight ahead - don't look back!

Every person needs a goal in his lifetime.
If you've talent use it, don't wait for luck.
For we all have known low points in our past time.
Don't be unhappy, don't look back!
