[Verse 1] They called him mad when he left the gate Laughing at the warnings carved by fate While kings built towers reaching for the sky He chased the questions no one dared ask why A crow flew circles overhead "Turn around," the villagers said But every road they feared to tread Became a map inside his head [Pre-Chorus] Blindfold on, boots in the dust Following wonder instead of trust One step from heaven, one from the grave Dancing where the brave misbehave [Chorus] Oh, the Fool keeps walking on Through the dusk and through the dawn Every wrong turn proves him right He finds the stars inside the night Call him reckless, call him strange He's the one who slips the chains The world says "stop," he answers "why?" And laughs beneath the endless sky [Verse 2] In every town they knew his name Not with love but fear and blame "You see too little!" they would cry While hiding truth behind their eyes But he could hear the silence speak The trembling voice beneath the weak The things concealed, the things denied The ghosts that everybody hides [Pre-Chorus] Blindfold on, heart open wide Reading the current beneath the tide One step from order, one from chaos Living inside the sacred paradox [Chorus] Oh, the Fool keeps walking on Through the dusk and through the dawn Every wrong turn proves him right He finds the stars inside the night Call him reckless, call him strange He's the one who slips the chains The world says "stop," he answers "why?" And laughs beneath the endless sky [Verse 3] He gathered stories, not a throne Every wound became his own He learned that pride is often pain Wearing golden masks and chains Then came a tyrant crowned in gold Selling certainty to the cold The crowd believed his every word The Fool just smiled and watched the board [Build] The king made rules for every game Stacked every card and rigged the frame But tricksters always leave a clue For fools to find and wander through [Bridge] So he played the game without a fight Turned every shadow into light Held up a mirror to the crown And watched the kingdom tumble down "No hero's throne. No victory." "No final truth belongs to me." The Fool just bowed and took his leave While others argued what to believe [Final Chorus] Oh, the Fool keeps walking on Through a thousand ages gone Every ending hides a door Leading somewhere never seen before Call him dreamer, call him clown He's the one who won't bow down The world's a stage, the game's alive And wonder is the way we survive [Outro] Blind, not lost Mad, not broken Foolish, not weak The joke unspoken One step forward Into the unknown The Fool keeps walking And somehow finds home.
