Walter Whitman Where Are You
Vannelli Gino Lyrics

Walter Whitman where are you
The singer is searching for Walter Whitman, a symbol of spiritual guidance and wisdom.

Among the stars or, in the earth beneath my shoe
The singer wonders if Walter Whitman has passed away or if he is still alive and present in the world.

It's just cause I'm wondering
The singer is curious about the whereabouts of Walter Whitman.

Could you walk with me a mile
The singer hopes to receive some guidance and wisdom from Walter Whitman.

And maybe heaven could spare you awhile
The singer hopes that Walter Whitman is still alive and that he can come back to the world to offer his guidance.

Walter Whitman, I confess
The singer reveals that he is struggling with his faith and his life.

My faith is shaken
The singer has lost some of his belief in spirituality and is in need of guidance.

And my life's a holy mess
The singer's life is in chaos and he is searching for meaning.

Yes, I need deliverance
The singer is hoping for a way out of his current struggles.

But I'd settle for a smile
The singer would be grateful for any small glimmer of hope or happiness.

Now maybe heaven can spare you awhile
The singer hopes that Walter Whitman is still alive and can come back to offer spiritual guidance.

I thought I heard you yawpin' from the yonder tree
The singer thought he heard Walter Whitman's voice in nature, a place of spiritual connection.

I swore I heard you say
The singer believes that Walter Whitman's spirit is still alive and present in the world.

"Don't worry boy, shut up, enjoy, be free"
These words are attributed to Walter Whitman, offering the singer advice to let go of his worries and find freedom in the present moment.

Walter Whitman, I declare
The singer calls out to Walter Whitman once again, seeking guidance and wisdom.

I could sing songs of joy
The singer is hopeful that he can find happiness and gratitude in life.

Through my darkness and despair
The singer is going through a difficult time and is searching for a way out.

It's just I'm hoping
The singer is holding onto hope that Walter Whitman can offer him some guidance.

You could shed a little light
The singer is hoping for some spiritual insight from Walter Whitman.

That is if heaven can spare you tonight
The singer acknowledges that Walter Whitman may have passed away but is still hoping for some guidance.

Walter Whitman where are you?
The singer concludes the song with a repetition of the opening line, still searching for spiritual guidance and wisdom.
