don't stop for no one

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 babylonian gardens

you know

history don't stop for no one

the pyramids are just a 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 'cause seeing is believing'

you know

history don't stop for no one

just like a 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 beauty 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
