《The Next Right Thing》的英文詞曲是由格溫·史蒂芬妮（Gwen Stefani）和史蒂芬·泰勒（Stephen Taylor）共同完成的，其歌詞如下：
Verse 1:
I don't know what to say
I'm feeling lost and feeling scared
But I know I've got to face
The next right thing
Chorus:
It's not easy, it's not hard
It's just something I gotta do
It's the next right thing
It's not easy, it's not fair
But I'll get through it all by me
It's the next right thing
Verse 2:
Sometimes I feel so alone
And I don't know where to turn
But I know that I've got to find
The next right thing
Chorus:
It's not easy, it's not hard
It's just something I gotta do
It's the next right thing
It's not easy, it's not fair
But I'll get through it all by me
It's the next right thing
Bridge:
There's no need to be afraid
You don't have to face it alone
You just gotta take that first step
And then you'll see it gets better
Chorus:
It's not easy, it's not hard
It's just something I gotta do
It's the next right thing (repeat)
And then you'll know you did what you could do (repeat)
Outro:
So let go, let go of the past
And trust that it will all be alright (it will be alright)
Because it's the next right thing (it's the next right thing)
And that's what matters in the end.
