Passenger - Keep on Walking Mr. Fry (from the musical "The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry")

 Passenger - Keep on Walking Mr. Fry

 i’m sorry sir but sadly you can’t talk with her today
are you the man that’s travelling from so very far away? 
she has no friends or family she has no next of kin 
these cases tend to end quite quickly after they begin
so imagine our surprise to see the light shine in her eyes
every time she sees one of your postcards has arrived
so although it sounds ridiculous it’s really quite miraculous
i think you might be helping her survive

so keep on walking mr fry
for there’s a magic in your stride
i don’t know how i don’t know why
but sometimes if you try
even when you’re falling you can fly
so keep on walking mr fry 

well i must admit i felt as if you hadn’t understood
the weight of queenie’s situation like we thought you would 
i didn’t see how walking could save a mortal soul
i’ve learnt over the years what’s in and out of our control 
so imagine our delight to see her carry on and fight
she’s a candle in the window and your faith keeps her alight 
so although it may be lost on us and frankly sounds preposterous
i think you might be keeping her alive

so keep on walking mr fry
for you’ve a power at your side
i don’t know how i don’t know why but sometimes if you try 
even when you’re falling you can fly 
so keep on walking mr fry

for she waits for you like summer waits for rain
with hope renewed and the patience of a saint 
she waits for you for as long as she sustains
i hope you can understand why
you must keep on walking mr fry
