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
