  • 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

    Me and some of my friends
    we were gonna save the world
    we were trying to make it better
    we were ready to save the world
    but then the weather changed
    and the white got stained
    and it fell apart
    and it breaks my heart

    To think about how close we came,
    I wanna walk like a giant on the land
    I wanna walk like a giant on the land

    Tried to have for long and strain
    We were riding on the desert wind
    We were pulling in the spiritual
    Riding on the desert wind

    We could see it in the distance
    Getting closer every minute
    We saw the lights and spiritual shining
    Getting closer every minute
    Then we skipped the rails, and we started to fail
    And we folded up, and it’s not enough
    Think about how close we came

    I wanna walk like a giant on the land
    I wanna walk like a giant on the land

    Whenever I see the big fire coming,
    Coming to burn down all my ideas
    I try to hold down to my thinking, and remember how it feels

    When I’m looking right in your eyes
    And hearing your happy laughter
    When I’m seeing your blue eyes shining
    And hear your happy laughing
    So the moment came, and the big sky rained and a ṗool of fire
    Served in my desire

    When I think about how good it feels
    I wanna walk like a giant on the land
    I wanna walk like a giant on the land

    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 Writer/s: NEIL YOUNG
