Don't stop for no-one
And then it goes on
(repeat 3 times)

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
(repeat)

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
