Lyrics
Just swing your arms and take a long stride
Encouraging a carefree attitude, suggesting a leisurely walk.
See the old highway sunbaked and wide
Describing the landscape of an expansive, sun-soaked highway.
It's chalk white dust hangs low in the sky under white stone eyes
Depicting a dusty atmosphere with a focus on white stone eyes watching.
The only sound I hear is the sound of our feet
Emphasizing the quietness, with the only audible sound being footsteps.
neither marching forward nor in retreat
Highlighting a rhythmic and unhurried pace without a specific destination.

Expressing a contented and steady beat beneath the gaze of the white stone eyes.
