Why Walk When You Can Run

The son runs to the shore

To the world that lies before

He can't hear my sound

He's much too in tune with the ground

He sees only the tide

And the surf and the sea

He's oblivious to me calling



In years to come

I will still call him son

We'll have no time to wait

He must see beyond his fate

He's here in the sun

And the wind make it free

His only defence will always be

Why walk when you can run?



Run like the wind, run like the wind

Run like the wind, run like the wind

Run like the wind, run like the wind

Run like the wind my son

Run like the wind, run like the wind

Run like the wind, run like the wind

Run like the wind, run like the wind

Run like the wind my son



Through sheets of time

Are the wings of a bird

He'll come to the edge

To look life in the eyes

Is he holding the keys

To the world and his dreams?

His strongest defence will always be

Why walk when you can run?

Why walk when you can run?



Run like the wind, run like the wind

Run like the wind, run like the wind

Run like the wind, run like the wind

Run like the wind my son

Run like the wind, run like the wind

Don't turn your back, no giving in

Run like the wind, run like the wind

Run like the wind my son
