'''Never Turn Back''' is the ending theme for the true ending (last story) of the ''[[Shadow the Hedgehog (game)|Shadow the Hedgehog]]''. In the credits, it is preceded by a slow, sad piano tune according to the chorus of "[[I Am... All Of Me]]", which is not part of the song in the game's sound test but it can be heard as it the last sound test called "Ending", and is part of it on the official vocal tracks album, The song itself is a hard rock song that is typical to the band's style, but instead of a guitar riff at the beginning like most of their songs, it opens with lead singer [[Johnny Gioeli]] going "Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh, yeah!"

==Lyrics==
Whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa, oh, yeah!<br>
Whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa, oh, yeah!<br>
Whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa, oh, yeah!

(Whoa, yeah...)<br>
Whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa, oh, yeah!<br>
Whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa, oh, yeah!<br>
Whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa, oh, yeah!<br>
(Yeah...)<br>
Whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa, oh, yeah!

It's been a long, rough road and I'm finally here<br>
I move an inch forward, it feels like a year<br>
Everything I feel seems so unreal - is it true? Is it true?<br>
I take one step forward and two steps back<br>
Got a hundred-thousand pounds sittin' on my back<br>
Up, down, all around - don't know quite what to do to get thru

But I'm on my way, on my way, on my way, on my way

Here I am (here I am) - made it to the end of you<br>
Never had a chance while I'm around<br>
No! No!<br>
No, no, no, no!

And now I'll never turn back (I'll never turn back)<br>
I'll never turn that way<br>
No matter how life tries to face me<br>
I'll turn the other way<br>
Now and then (now and then), my head starts to spin (starts to spin)<br>
But I never turn back again... (No! No!)<br>
From this moment on (moment on), I am movin' on (movin' on)<br>
And I'll never turn back... (No!)

Whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa, oh, yeah!<br>
Whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa, oh, yeah!<br>
Whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa, oh, yeah!

I guess I'm doin' all right, and I'm on my way<br>
Facing every moment day by day<br>
Take a chance, slip on by, got no time to answer why<br>
Head straight... I head straight<br>
And what will I become if I don't look back<br>
Give myself a reason for this and that?<br>
I can learn - no U-turn - gotta stay right here where I'm at<br>
Where I'm at

But I'm on my way, on my way, on my way, on my way

Here I am (here I am) - made it to the end of you<br>
Never had a chance while I'm around<br>
No! No!<br>
No, no, no, no!

And now I'll never turn back ( I'll never turn back)<br>
I'll never turn that way<br>
No matter how life tries to face me<br>
I'll turn the other way<br>
Now and then (now and then), my head starts to spin (starts to spin)<br>
But I'll never turn back again (No! No!)<br>
From this moment on (moment on), I am movin' on (movin' on)<br>
And I'll never turn back... (No!)

Whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa, oh, yeah!<br>
Whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa, oh, yeah!<br>
Whoa-whoa, whoa-whoa, oh, yeah!

I'll!<br>
I'll!<br>
I'll never turn back!
