Hold my breath while I dive for what's pretend In the shallowness of youth I've been walking, I've been walking with no shoes Hold my hand, lift me up above the winds 'Til I know the place I've been I've been walking, I've been walking with no shoes Hold my tongue, for I'm not what I have sung But in the echo of my tune I've been walking, I've been walking with no shoes For 20 years I've walked down an old beaten route My mother had told me the loveliest truth That no one can impose their plans on to you For 20 years I've walked down an old beaten route My mother had told me the loveliest truth That no one can impose their plans on to you So I'll keep walking, I'll keep walking with no shoes So I'll keep walking, I'll keep walking with no shoes So I'll keep walking, I'll keep walking with no shoes
