You may long for the garden and all that's been lost
But there's no going back, my friend
It's a willo-the-wisp, a false light in the dark
And there's no going back, my friend
What's gone has gone, what remains, remains
But there's no going back, my friend
The past has dissolved in the waters of change
And there's no going back, my friend
We will live with the scars of the damage we cause
And there's no going back, my friend
The fruit has been eaten, paradise lost
And there's no going back, my friend
We are no longer children but we are men amongst men
And there is no going back, my friend
Help me to stand up and I will help you to walk tall
And there's no going back, my friend
