Walk On
Darlene Zschech Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love is not the easy thing
The only baggage you can bring
Is all that you can't leave behind
Love is not the easy thing
The only baggage you can bring
Is all that you can't leave behind
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
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
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 for freedom
Walk on, walk on
What you got they can't deny it
No they can't even try it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight
And I know it aches
And your heart it breaks
You only take so much
Walk on, walk on
Home...hard to know what it is if you never had one
Home...I can't say where it is but I know I'm going
Home...that's where the heart is
Walk on, walk on
All that you fashion
All that you make
All that you build
All that you can break
All that you measure
All that you steal
All this you can leave it all behind
All that you reason
All you can sense
All that you speak
All you dress up
All that you scheme
All that you fashion
You can leave it all behind




Hallelujah
Hallelujah
