Lyrics

And if the dark ness is to keep

us a (Em7)part,

and if the day light feels like it’s a long way (Em7)off.

And if your glass heart should crack and for a sec ond you turn back,

oh no,

be strong.

Oh, oh, walk on,

walk on.

What you got, they can’t de steal ny it, no, (Em7)they can’t e ven feel it.

Walk on,

walk on.

Stay safe to night.

You’re pack ing a suit case for a place

none of us has (Em7)been,

a place that has to be be lieved

to be (Em)seen.

You could have flown a way, a (G)sing ing bird in an (Em7)o pen cage, who will on ly fly,

on ly fly for (E)free dom.

(E7)Oh, oh, walk on,

And I know it aches, and your heart, it breaks.

You can (E7)on ly take so much.

Walk

on.

(D)Home,

hard to know what it is if you’ve nev er had one.

(D)Home,

I can’t say what it is, but I know I’m go ing home,

that’s where the hurt is.

And I know it aches, and your heart, it breaks.

You can (E7)on ly take so much.

Walk (Em7)on.

Leave it be hind,

you’ve got to leave it be hind.

All that you fa shion, all that you make,

all that you build,

all that you break.

All that you meas ure, all that you feel,

all this you can

leave that be hind.

All that you meas
