Lyrics
Walk On By
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Who is the captive soldier?
Who bargains for his life?
Who trades him for the rockets?
And who lets the rockets fly?
I wanna walk all over you, jesus
Jesus, will you walk on by?
And who is this teenager?
With martydom on his mind?
Whose gonna ride the bus today
And who helps him to decide?
I wanna walk all over you, jesus
Jesus, will you walk on by?
I'm over you, jesus
You ain't no friend of mine
And who is the Sunday pilgrim?
Praying at the foot of your shrine
Between there and the hotel room
He hardly even opens his eyes
I wanna walk all over you, jesus
Jesus, will you walk on by?
And who made the walls to tumble?
And bury them all inside?
Just like the walls of Jericho
Rubber at the end of the night
I wanna walk all over you, jesus
Jesus, will you walk on by?
I am over you, jesus
You ain't no friend of mine
