Paroles de la chanson

And love

Is not the easy thing

The only baggage

That you can bring

Not the easy thing

The only baggage you can bring

Is all that you can't leave behind

And if the darkness is to keep us apart

And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off

And if your glass heart should crack

And for a second you turn back

Oh no, be strong

Walk on

Walk on

What you got, they can't steal it

No they can't even feel it

Walk on

Walk on

Stay safe tonight

You're packing a suitcase for a place

None of us has been

A place that has to be believed

To be seen

You could have flown away

A singing bird

In an open cage

Who will only fly

Only fly for freedom

Walk on

Walk on

What you got

You can't deny it

Can't sell it or buy it

Walk on

Walk on

You stay safe tonight

And I know it aches

How your heart it breaks

You can only take so much

Walk on

Walk on

Home

Hard to know what it is

If you never had one

Home

I can't say where it is

But I know I'm going

Home

That's where the hurt is

And I know it aches

And your heart it breaks

You can only take so much

Walk on

Leave it behind

You've got to leave it behind

All that you fashion

All that you make

All that you build

All that you break

All that you measure

All that you feel

All this you can leave behind

All that you care

It's only time

And I'll never fill up

all my mind

All that you sense

All that you scheme

All you dress up

And all that you see

All you create

All that you wreck

All that you hate
