Why Walk When You Can Run

Tab from Bongo My son runs to the shore To the world that lies before But 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                He’ll have no time to wait He must see beyond his fate He’ll say only the sun and the wind make him free                      His only defence will always be                        Why walk when you can run X2 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 run like the wind my son                           Through sheets of time     On the wings of a bird             He’ll come to the edge To look life in the eyes   He’ll see only the keys to the world and is dreams                    His strongest 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 run like the wind my son   X2                                                        Run like the wind run like the wind No turning back no giving in Run like the wind run like the wind                                    Run like the wind run like the wind my son
