"WALKING"
Go pick 'em up and set 'em down and walk some everyday,
walk to work, walk to town, just walk whatever may!
Walk, walk, walk, oh how great it feels to go outside and stride,
and walk away those daily meals we daily store inside.
+
And walk away your troubles too, and hit the trails today
just walk, and walk, and walk 'til you have walked your fears away!
And when you walk, walk down some street you never walked before;
and watch for signs and things to meet that walking has in store;
for sights you see come closer then, not seen from any car;
a smile, a handshake with a friend, is better to me by far!
+
And see the things that comfort brings when walking to and fro,
pretty houses, folks in swings, perhaps someone you know.
So go and walk, and walk, and walk and walk your life around,
and with you take this cadence sound: "Pick'em up and set 'em down"
and hup to it when you do it!
