Walk All Day

Back in the day, 

I had somewhere to stay

I had a roof, four walls and a bed

I had plenty to eat, 

I had shoes on my feet

I had a place where I could rest my head

But then some real bad dudes

Caused some real bad feuds 

I didn’t know what it was all about

They didn’t want us there

And it wasn’t very fair

But they really meant to kick us out, 

no doubt

Bad got worse

And by the second verse

Of this highly underrated song

You’ll see persecution 

Without retribution 

And what happened next was very wrong

You see an angry mob

With the intent to rob

Took the property that we possessed

And without dispute

They gave us all the boot

And so we headed out to the west

And now we just

Walk all day, walk all day

Walk all day, walk all day

We follow the trail

Quite well

Left our home

And everything we own

Except a few things, stuffed in a cart

Thinking back

We almost got off track

Before we even had a chance to start

There was a massive river

Really made me shiver

‘Bout a mile wide to be precise

By a miracle though

It soon began to snow

And we all walked across on ice

That’s nice

I was a young teenager

Not afraid of danger

When the story up-to-here took place

Now it’s in the past

I’ve had to grow up fast

With all the trials that I’ve had to face

And there’s a transformation

When you walk the nation

With the people that you care about

Now I’m a better man

Than when this all began

Kinda makes me want to stand and shout

I’m happy to

Walk all day, walk all day

Walk all day, walk all day

We follow the trail

All is well
