He's just an ordinary man

Never gonna live forever

So he takes it where he can



Too many nights without a day

For the sake of being clever

He almost lost his way

He always thought that he could fly

Till he was shot down from the sky

You can't walk on water - don't try

You can't walk on water - my my my



They say there's ice inside his veins

He's the man of a thousand faces

Silver spoons and golden chains

He thought his heart was made of steel

But it never started pounding

Till they strapped him to the wheel



He always thought that he could fly

Till he was shot down from the sky

No matter what you try

You can't walk on water - my my

Can't walk on water - don't let me try



Somebody said we'll make him strong

He can give us all the answers

Tell us right and show us wrong



If you believe it, it's no lie

And there is an end to summer

'Cause the winter makes it die



We never looked above his head

And so he missed the things that they said, yeah

He always thought that he could fly

Until they shot him from the sky



No matter how you try

You can't walk on water

Can't burn the sun

You can't walk on water

Not anyone



You can't, you can't, you can't

You can't, you can't, walk on water
