Dunno what this one might be - maybe some kind of mobility boost, or timefuckery so Doug can walk anywhere in the world in (to him) the duration of the song, but to outside observation as long as he'd normally take at (at most) a brisk walking pace? Like a surface-based version of
Fly Like an Eagle, where time keeps on slippin' slippin' slippin', into the future. (I suppose if he did the math for how long it would take him to walk X laps of the equator it could be a forward-only time travel song, if he got stuck in the past from where he wanted to be somehow...) Also including walking across water due to the strong theme in the lyrics, or maybe only if he has water to walk on? Maybe a dream-walking mental effect, instead? Mmm, like I say, I don't really have any standout ideas, but it definitely feels powerful to me.

Lyrics:
Sometimes I’m the moon shining along the river
sometimes I’m the river carrying all away
If I walk among the stars I see the loneliness
these are useless days of heedless and hidden men
The world has changed colours and buried the memories
The blue sky, green fields and the blue sea
Mother, Father, and the childhood dreams
Mother, Father, and the childhood dreams
Walk through the endless rain of time
Over empires that rise and fall
Walk with me on dark waters
Walk like heroes
Walk with me on life and death
Walk like heroes
Walk with me on all that flows
Walk like heroes
Over right, over wrong
on the wings of a deathless song
where dreams appear like the stars to sailors
Sometimes I'm the silence dominating the ocean floor
Sometimes I'm the ocean that turns into storm
If I walk among the stars I see the misery
These men are hopeless crushed by heaps of gold
The world has changed colours and buried the memories
The blue sky, green fields and the blue sea
Mother, Father, and the childhood dreams
Mother, Father, and the childhood dreams
Walk through the endless rain of time
Over empires that rise and fall
Walk with me on dark waters
Walk like heroes
Walk with me on life and death
Walk like heroes
Walk with me on all that flows
Walk like heroes
Over right, over wrong
on the wings of a deathless song
where dreams appear like the stars to sailors
