My son runs to the shore   To the world that lies before   He can't hear my sound   He's much to in tune with the ground      He sees only the tide   And the surf and the sea   He's oblivious to me calling      In years to come   I will still call him son   But he'll have no time to wait   He must see beyond his fate      He sees only the sun   And the wind make it free   His only defense will always be      Why walk when you can run?      Run like the wind, run like the wind   Run like the wind, run like the wind   Run like the wind, run like the wind   Run like the wind my son      Run like the wind, run like the wind   Run like the wind, run like the wind   Run like the wind, run like the wind   Run like the wind my son      Through sheets of time   Are the wings of a bird   He'll come to the edge   To look life in the eyes      Is he holding the keys   To the world and his dreams?   His strongest defense will always be      Why walk when you can run?   Why walk when you can run?      Run like the wind, run like the wind   Run like the wind, run like the wind   Run like the wind, run like the wind   Run like the wind my son      Run like the wind, run like the wind   Don't turn your back, no giving in   Run like the wind, run like the wind   Run like the wind my son
