Sooner Or Later (Walkin' On Air) Lyrics

Walk on the water,
Swim with the life tide,
Clear away the storm clouds,
Ohhh...
You got to
Roll with the punches,
Shelter from the weather,
Have no fear of darkness,
Sooner or later ohh...
Sooner or later ohh...
We'll be walkin' on air.

Live for the moment
'Cos life is worth living,
Love will surround you
Sooner or later ohh...
Sooner or later ohh...
We'll be walkin' on air,
We'll be walkin' on air.

Love is out there
Waiting for you
Wearing no disguise,
Nothing left behind close doors,
It's right before your eyes.

So take a walk in the sunshine,
Send a message on your on-line
Then you can do it in your own time
Sooner or later ohh...
Sooner or later ohh...
We'll be walkin' on air,
Walkin on air,
We'll be walkin' on air.

Walk on the water,
Shelter from the weather,
Clear away the storm clouds,
Sooner or later ohh...
Sooner or later ohh...
Sooner or later ohh...
Sooner or later ohh...
Walkin' on air,
Walkin' on air,
We'll be walkin' on air.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Sooner Or Later (Walkin' On Air) lyrics by Moody Blues, The

by Navigations

1y ago

Everyone recognizes that there is a spiritual aspect to a good number of the Moody Blues songs once Lodge and Hayward came onboard. This song is one of those. It's all about conversion to a religion or spirituality that embraces love, a religion or spirituality that will come "sooner or later," perhaps after one's soul moves out of this life and into whatever is beyond (walkin' on air). So, in this life, "swim with the life tide"; "roll with the punches"; "have no fear of darkness"; "live for the moment 'cause life is work living." "Love will surround you" and "you'll be walkin' on air."
