Don't stop for no-one And then it goes on Don't stop for no-one And then it goes on Don't stop for no-one And then it goes on One day my father said to me 'It's time for you to leave, But don't wait for me, it's pre-destiny' Don't wait around for someone to believe in You know, history don't stop for no-one Just like Moses waiting on the mountain You know, history don't stop for no-one Don't hang around in the Babylonian Gardens You know, history don't stop for no-one tourist attraction You know, history don't stop for no-one Don't stop for no-one And then it goes on Sometimes I told I must confess To a life of tenderness But I just repeat what he said to me: 'Don't close your eyes because seeing is believing' You know, history don't stop for no-one child, fighting for a meaning You know, history don't stop for no-one Don't dream too long, it's time to awake now You know, history don't stop for no-one Like sleeping Lucy waiting for a kiss now You know, history don't stop for no-one I think you know the way it's gonna go now You know, history don't stop for no-one From Aztech kings to New York queens And then it goes on
