|
The simple minded
|
And the uninformed
|
Can be easily led astray
|
And those that cannot connect the dots
|
Hey look the other way
|
People believe what they want to believe
|
When it makes no sense at all
|
So be careful of those killing in Jesus's name (1)
|
He don't believe in killing at all (1)
|
|
And I wish you a long sight line (2)
|
And the strength to walk tall (2)
|
Walk tall
|
Yeah walk on
|
Through this world
|
Walk tall
|
Somewhere out in the distance
|
Is the death of you and me
|
Even though we don't think of it much
|
It's still out there for us to see
|
If you treat life like a bar room fight
|
You'll die stinking of gin
|
No drunkards are allowed in heaven
|
No sinners will get in
|
Walk tall
|
Yeah, walk on
|
Walk tall
|
Through this world
|
Walk tall
|
So be careful in what you believe in
|
There's plenty to get you confused
|
And in this land called paradise
|
You must walk in many men's shoes
|
Bigotry and hatred are enemies to us all
|
Grace, mercy and forgiveness
|
Will help a man walk tall
|
So walk tall
|
Yeah, walk on
|
Walk tall
|
Through this world
|
Through this world
|
Yeah, walk tall
|
Then walk on
|
Walk tall
|
Then walk on
|
Through this world
|
Through this world
|
Through this world
|
Through this world
|
Walk tall
|
Walk tall
|
Then walk on
|
Walk tall
|
