Why Walk When You Can Run - Paul Weller

My son runs to the shore

To the world that lies before

He can’t hear my sound

He’s much to 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

But he’ll have no time to wait

He must see beyond his fate

He sees only the sun

And the wind make it free

His only defense 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 defense 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
