The hope I touched with these hands
The far-off sound of my young steps
My heartbeat echoing in the stairwell… all leaned upon ideals
And reflected a nearly vanishing light.
Even if recited by my mentors, it still misses the point I’m at
Playing in the void of memory
Even counting the examples, it’s like impatience is fleeing
As irreplaceable yesterdays begin from here
WALK
She’s calling a timeout to say
“I won’t hurry no more,
no matter how they think about me”
WALK
You never have to be framed
There’s no limit to go
Counting every step you take
(Wow) I won’t hurry no more,
no matter how they think ’bout me
(Wow) There’s no limit to go
Let me walk the right way
We never know the truth of lies
Everyone makes it a rule of white lies
Is that for me or for you
to keep from hurting our prides?
If we could rid ourselves from vanities
They pushed me out,
then knocked me out
But smiled as if nothing was done
We did not see eye to eye
Their point of view is nothing new
We’ve been completely poles apart
And had no time to rewind
But who minds?
WALK
She’s calling a timeout to say
“I won’t hurry no more,
no matter how they think about me”
WALK
You never have to be framed
There’s no limit to go
Counting every step you take
(Wow) I won’t hurry no more,
no matter how they think ’bout me
(Wow) There’s no limit to go
Let me walk the right way
So let me walk on
or I’ll slip through your hands
I won’t hurry no more,
no matter how they think ’bout me
Don’t let me look back,
I’m looking straight ahead
There’s no limit to go
We ain’t going the same way
WALK
She’s calling a timeout to say
“I won’t hurry no more,
no matter how they think about me”
WALK
You never have to be framed
There’s no limit to go
Counting every step you take
(Wow) I won’t hurry no more,
no matter how they think ’bout me
(Wow) There’s no limit to go
Let me walk the right way
