WALKING AROUND

I came to the wall but I just couldn’t climb any further
I’ve done all I can. How far can this man really go?
Do you think I’m a fool? Do you think I am really unworthy?
A heart beats within don’t you see this is me don’t you know?
If I could run at the speed of sound
I would run for the sun ‘till my feet left the ground.
I would follow my heart and show you just what I have found.
But this angels’ still walking around.
I’m an angel still walking around.

Is your head full of birds? Have you heard anything that I’ve said to you?
Why don’t you speak to me? What do you want me to say?
Nothing comes easy – at least not for some…but we all make do.
We’ve done all we can. One day we will find the way through.
If I could run at the speed of sound
I would run for the sun ‘till my feet left the ground.
I would follow my heart and show you just what I have found.
But this angels’ still walking around.
I’m an angel still walking around.
