Riding the wings of an albatross
Riding the back of a fawn
Racing against a leopard
Travelling farther on
And on and on and on
This is the journey I worry about
This is the race that I run
This is how hard it is to get out
And my feet ache
My boots they are done
Through a sea of faces
Some of them faces I know
One hundred different places
This journey's so very slow
Where the winds blow I want to go
Such is the day and such is the night
Changing all of the time
Most of it's wrong and most of it's right
But I can take
All that is mine
Sending my feet in one direction
Standing still on my own
Everything I see is a reflection
Sometimes I see the bone
I see what I own if it's shown
I take what I need but I miss a lot
Often losing things that I've had
Sometimes not even knowing what I've got
But I can decide
What's good and what's bad
Watching heroes rise and fall
Listening to what people say
Watching others playing with their ball
Trying to find my own way
Somewhere to stay another day
This is the journey I worry about
This is the race that I run
This is how hard it is to get out
And my feet ache
My boots they are done
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
