Why Walk When You Can Run Lyrics

Paul Weller

my son rose to the shore
to the world that lies before
he cant here my sound
hes much to in tune with the ground
he sees only the tide
and the surf and the sea
hes 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
they say only the sun
and the wind make it free
his only defence will always be
why walk when u 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
all 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 his dreams
his strongest defence will always be
why walk when u can run
why walk when u 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
no turning back, no giving in
run like the wind, run like the wind
run like the wind my son
