Lyrics
Why does the sun shine? Why does the rain fall?
Try to walk through to my future, but there's a wall.
Blocking me, back to our memories.
Life's holdin' me back from where I need to be.
I don't wanna feel the pain again.
So why can't it let me...
Walk on. Walk on.
Life's too short to go back again.
Walk on. Walk on.
Why do I have to feel the pain?
All my yesterdays I hold with no regrets.
And if you think you know me know
it isn't over yet.
With every risin' sun comes another day
and the darkness fades away.
Walk on. Walk on.
On my way now, let me go.
Walk on. Walk on.
Can't let the past get ahold on me.
Walk on. Walk on.
Walk through the thunder and the rain.
Walk on. Walk on.
Walk through the laughter and the pain.
No one knows what I'm gonna be, so let me
Walk on.
