Lyrics
The chevrons they fly
Across cloudy skies
It's over before we've just begun
Better to walk than to run
What is leading us where
What do we hope to find
Though it's not a race we chase the sun better to walk than to run
The dust has settled on my mind
Less ahead more behind
Though it's hard to see how far we've come
Better to walk than to run
In the blink of an eye it all rushes by
Did we find what we were after
Were we filled with laughter
Or left only in tears
Regrets and rewards, the unspoken words
Did pain outweigh the pleasure
And did we learn to treasure
The passing of years
The seas may get rough
And it's never enough
Through battles we've lost and wars we've won
Better to walk than to run
And yet through it all
With every turn of the page
Though it's not a race we chase the sun
Better to walk than to run
Better to walk than to run
Better to walk than to run
