Nikiwiza nilikotoka 

Nikifikiria yale yote nimepitia 

Nakumbuka ushindi 

Nakumbuka machozi yote yamo moyoni 


Nikiwiza nilikotoka 

Nikifikiria yale yote nimepitia 

Mazuri na mabaya 

Nimeaumua sitaishi pale 


Mimi najua sirudi nyuma 

Naendelea mbele 

Mimi najua sirudi nyuma 

Naendelea mbele 


Yaliyopita si ndwele 

Naganga yajayo 

Nashukuru kwa yote yaliyonijenga 

Na kwa kuinuliwa 

Sitaenda mbele kama naangalia ya kale 

Nitatarajia yanayojiri 

Nashukuru kwa yote nimejifundisha 

Nashukuru nimekuwa 


Mimi najua sirudi nyuma 

Naendelea mbele 

Mimi najua sirudi nyuma 

Naendelea mbele 

Mimi najua sirudi nyuma 

Naendelea mbele


Chorus translates to

I know I'm not going back 

I'm moving forward
