The walker may get to where he wants to go
He may lose his stride on the way
In boots made of leather
Although well put together
I don't believe a word he has to say
I don't believe we can make it pay
The runner, you may think he'd make it
With his lightning feet and all those bursts of speed
He's so quick to take his chances
So smooth he almost dances
But he's chained like a dog on a lead
Chained like a dog on a lead
Flying over mountains on a wind of change
Sifting over valleys of a timeless dawn
The flyer is a free man
Although he ain't no he-man
You'll find he don't need your strength at all
Although I hear you callin'
It's no use I'm free fallin'
Down the wall
The runner, you may think he'd make it
With his lightning feet and all those bursts of speed
He's so quick to take his chances
So smooth he almost dances
But he's chained like a dog on a lead
Chained like a dog on a lead
Flying over mountains on a wind of change
Sifting over valleys of a timeless dawn
The flyer is a free man
Although he ain't no he-man
You'll find he don't need your strength at all
