Am               C
My son runs to the shore 
G                   Esus4 E 
To the world that lies before 
Am               C
But he can’t hear my sound 
G                    Esus4 E
He’s much too in tune with the ground 
F                   G                       C                 Am
He sees only the tide and the surf and the sea 
F                   G                   Am           E
He’s oblivious to me calling 

Am                      C       G                  Esus4 E
In years to come I will still call him son
Am            C                   
He’ll have no time to wait 
G                Esus4 E
He must see beyond his fate 
F                      G                     C                        Am
He’ll say only the sun and the wind make him free 
F                      G                     Am       E
His only defence will always be

Why walk when you can run

Am                         
Run like the wind run like the wind 
F                        
Run like the wind run like the wind 
G
Run like the wind run like the wind 
C                                                             Esus4  E
Run like the wind run like the wind my son  
Am                        C
Through sheets of time
G                           Esus4  E 
On the wings of a bird 
Am             C               
He’ll come to the edge
G                   Esus4 E 
To look life in the eyes 

F                     G                      C                       Am
He’ll see only the keys to the world and is dreams 
F                   G              Am            E
His strongest defence will always be 

Why walk when you can run 

 
Am                         
Run like the wind run like the wind 
F                        
Run like the wind run like the wind 
G
Run like the wind run like the wind 
C                                                             Esus4  E
Run like the wind run like the wind my son  

X2
Am
Run like the wind run like the wind 
F
No turning back no giving in 
G
Run like the wind run like the wind 
C                                                             Esus4 E
Run like the wind run like the wind my son  

Am
