Walk with me i’ll share the strain

Walk with me, feel no shame

Together we can make a change

You should be proud of what you became

---

Walk with me and have no doubt

Here’s what i am talking about

Life woul d be a duller game

If each one of us were all the same

---

Walk with me and show no hate

Bite your tongue don’t take the bait

Make the world a better place

It never is too little or too late

---

Let it be known

That your true colours should be shown

Each to their own

We’re not carved from the same stone

I know you want somewhere to run to

I know you want somewhere to hide

You’re just looking for some comfort

Someone to stand by your side

And i won’t blame you for your actions

I’m not here to criticize

I want to be the one who helps you

The one in whom you can confide

You don’t let it show

But i can still see

You try to let go but you’re needing me

I don’t understand

Sometimes how you feel

Show me the door 

Give me the key

You don’t need to keep pretending

You don’t need to try to hide

I’ll lead the way if you just let me

I’ll be the one right by your side

Red Stripy socks and blue jeans on

The suns beating through on his face

He don’t like it hot but that’s alright

Cos’ he’s living outside the rat race.

Lyin’ on his bed with a fresh warm breeze

Blows a smile across his face

No time for rushin’, he’s at a slow cookin’ pace

He’ll be ready when the running’s done.

That’s alright, hey, hey

Because he, is a man who loves the simple life

That’s alright, hey, hey

Because he, is a man who loves the simple life.

Strolls to the fridge, grabs himself a beer

He’s got a thirst for doin’ nothing.

Picks up his guitar, he likes a nice warm noise

He’ll be ready when the running’s done.

He needs a haircut, he needs a shave

He’ll let a few more days pass by

Cos’ he’s having fun, i think he won

Cos’ he’s living outside the rat race.

That’s alright, hey, hey

Because he, is a man who loves the simple life

That’s alright, hey, hey

Because he, is a man who loves the simple life.

La la la la la

La la la la la la………

Well its time for work, its time to run

He’s gotta go get something done

But why do it today when tomorrow’s OK

He’ll be ready when the running’s done.

That’s alright, hey, hey

Because he, is a man who loves the simple life

That’s alright, hey, hey

Because he, is a man who loves the simple life

That’s alright, hey, hey

Get off the corner the blue fuzz cry

The street is a place where the birds won’t fly

They don’t know if you’re real or not

They might not even try

‘Cos one more ‘could be’ off the streets

It gives them peace of mind

---

They have to put a front on they can’t back down

‘cos people need to see, who runs this town

Its like living in a crime scene that should have been and gone

But it hangs on their shoulders for so so long

---

This is the place where the birds won’t fly

This is the place where the birds won’t fly

This is the place where the birds won’t fly

This is the place where the birds won’t fly

---

Do they know right and wrong?

How long will it last?

A future lost forever now, they’re stuck out in the past

What will become of them stuck beneath the grime?

Caught up in the madness, hangin’ on the line

Business as usual, the birds won’t fly

People need to speak out, someone needs to try

If you could turn it all around, if you could make them fly

Soaring up above the clouds, high, high, high.

---

This is the place where the birds won’t fly

This is the place where the birds won’t fly

This is the place where the birds won’t fly

This is the place where the birds won’t fly.

Because he, is a man who loves the simple life.

I take this road

every other day

to leave for somewhere new

and far away

and though i may be gone

please don’t be blue

my heart is always there

at home with you

CHORUS

I’m home…

I’m happy to be home

Home and it feels like i was never gone…

I”m home,,,

I’m happy to be home

home……..I’m happy to be home with you

Counting minutes

and counting miles

closing my eyes

just to see you smile

always in my dreams

you’re never really far

wishing every second

to be right where you are

I think about the past

and the times we’ve had

I smile for tomorrow

and it makes me glad

that any road i travel

it doesn’t matter where

at the end of every journey

I will always see you there
