WALKING SHOES
(Hali Hammer)

I want to put on my walking shoes,
I want to flow down the road with the wind
I want to feel like I’m living, give when I feel giving,
And do anything I choose
But I don’t want to lose what I have, and I don’t want to hurt anyone
I just wish I could be exactly like me without turning to find all is gone

I look at the vans on the highway and remember how happy it was
To travel and sing, and to share everything,
something now that a memory does
And I look at the family I’ve nurtured, and I know that it’s
what I want most
But that vision of freedom still haunts me,
and I can’t seem to give up the ghost

I want to put on my walking shoes,
I want to flow down the road with the wind
I want to feel like I’m living, give when I feel giving,
And do anything I choose
But I don’t want to lose what I have, and I don’t want to hurt anyone
I just wish I could be exactly like me without turning to find all is gone

I look into the eyes of a stranger, and I smile and at once we are friends
And it’s good on my mind to feel thoughts that are kind
And to long for that feeling again
But I see that it’s bringing on sorrow,
and I know that it’s leading to pain
Cause each time I don’t hide what I’m feeling inside,
I start feeling like walking again

CHORUS

I just wish I could be exactly like me without turning to find all is gone.
