Walk On [America: A Tribute to Heroes]
[Intro]
Heaven on Earth
We need it now
I'm sick of all of this
Hanging around
I'm sick of the sorrow
I'm sick of the pain
And I'm sick of hearing
Again and again
That there's never gonna be peace on Earth
[Spoken:] Hello from London
Whoa-ho, oh-oh, ahh
Whoa-ho, oh-oh, ahh
[Verse 1]
And if the darkness is to keep us apart
And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off
And if your glass heart should crack
And for a second you turn back
Oh, no, be strong
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Walk on, walk on
What you got, they can't steal it
No, they can't even feel it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight
[Verse 2]
You're packing a suitcase for a place none of us has been
A place that has to be believed to be seen
You could have flown away
A singing bird in an open cage
Who will only fly, only fly for freedom
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Walk on, walk on
What you got, they can't deny it
Can't sell it, or buy it
Walk on, walk on
You stay safe tonight
[Bridge]
And I know it aches
How your heart, it breaks
You can only take so much
[Chorus]
Walk on
You've got to leave it behind
Leave it behind
You've got to leave it behind
[Outro]
All that you fashion
All that you make
All that you build
All that you break
All that you measure
All that you feel
All you count on two fingers
And all that you steal
You've got to leave it behind (Hale, hale)
You've got to leave it behind (Hale, halelujah)
Hale, hale
Hale, halelujah
Hale, hale
Hale, halelujah
(Hale, hale)
Hale, halelujah
(Hale, hale)
Hale, halelujah (See you when I get home)
(Hale, hale)
Hale, halelujah
Hale, hale
