WALK ON

And love is not the easy thing
The only baggage that you can bring
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 - only fly for freedom

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

And I know it aches
How your heart it breaks
You can 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 hurt is

And I know it aches
And your heart it breaks
You can only take so much
Walk on

Leave it behind
You've got to leave it behind

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 this you can leave behind

All that you reason - it's only time
Love in a fever - no, not mine
All that you sense - all that you scheme
All you dress up - all that you seem
All you create
WALK ON (UKRAINE)

And if the comic takes the stage and no one laughs
And does a dance on his own grave for a photograph
This is not a curtain call, this is the greatest act of all
Stand up for freedom, woah, woah

Walk on, walk on
What you got, they can't steal it, they can't even feel it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight

And if the dancer on the street was a vail of tears
It's a dance no army can defeat, love turns her fears
And too, a kind of rage, but can't be kept inside a cage
You fight or you fly, we're born or we die for freedom, oh, woah

Walk on, walk on
What you got, they can't deny it, can't sell it or buy it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight

Yeah, I know it aches, your hеart, it breaks
You can only take so much
Walk on, walk on
Home, you don't know what it is 'til you'rе forced to flee one
Home, 'til I know where it is, I will have to be one
Home, that's where the heart is
Oh, I know it aches how your heart, it breaks
And you can only take so much
Walk on, walk on

All that you fashion, all that you make
All that you build, whatever they break
All that you dream of, all you design
All that you can't leave behind
All that you reckon, all that you dare
All that you fought for when it wasn't there
All that [?], the hills that you climb
All that you can't leave behind

Not gonna leave it behind
Not gonna leave it behind, no, woah
Not gonna leave it behind
Not gonna leave it behind (Walk on)
