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
|
