Lyrics

Walk Like a Giant

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

I used to walk like a giant on the land

Now I feel like a leaf floating in a stream

I wanna walk like a giant

I wanna walk like a giant on the land

[Pre-Chorus]

Me and some of my friends (Walk, walk)

We were gonna save the world (Walk, walk)

We were trying to make it better (Walk, walk)

We were ready to save the world (Walk, walk)

But then the weather changed

And the white got stained

And it fell apart

And it breaks my heart

[Chorus]

But think about how close we came

(Walk, walk, walk, walk)

I wanna walk like a giant on the land

(Walk, walk, walk, walk)

I wanna walk like a giant on the land

(Walk, walk, walk, walk)

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]

The tracks ahead were long and straight

We were ridin' on the desert wind

We were pullin' in the spiritual

Ridin' on the desert wind

[Pre-Chorus]

We could see it in the distance (Walk, walk)

Gettin' closer every minute (Walk, walk)

We saw the lights of spiritual shinin' (Walk, walk)

Gettin' closer every minute (Walk, walk)

Then we skipped the rails

And we started to fail

And we folded up

And it's not enough

[Chorus]

Think about how close we came

(Walk, walk, walk, walk)

I wanna walk like a giant on the land

(Walk, walk, walk, walk)

I wanna walk like a giant on the land

(Walk, walk, walk, walk)

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

Whenever I see the big fire comin'

Comin' to burn down all my ideas

I try to hold on to my thinkin'

And remember how it feels

[Pre-Chorus]

When I'm lookin' right in your eyes (Walk, walk)

And hearing your happy laughin' (Walk, walk)

When I'm seein' your blue eyes shinin' (Walk, walk)

And hear your happy laughin' (Walk, walk)

So the moment came

And the big sky rained

And it put out the fire

Except in my desire

[Chorus]

When I think about how good it feels

(Walk, walk, walk, walk)

I wanna walk like a giant on the land

(Walk, walk, walk, walk)

I wanna walk like a giant on the land

(Walk, walk, walk, walk)

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 1]

I used to walk like a giant on the land

Now I feel like a leaf floating in a stream

I wanna walk like a giant

I wanna walk like a giant on the land

[Instrumental Outro]
