He gave thirty years to the lumber yard
Loving his family and working hard
Got a faith like a solid rock
He's just doing the walk
I've got a friend named Larry
He sends me letters from a foreign land
He moved there with his kids and his pretty wife Mary
To answer a holy call
He's just doing the walk
You can run with the big dogs
You can fly with the eagles
You can jump through all the hoops
And climb the ladder to the top
But when it all comes down
You know it all comes down to the walk
There's a man I know
He said He'd come to show us the way
He died on a cross and He rose from the grave
And proved He was more than talk
He taught us the walk
And now I'm singing my songs
Standing up on a big, bright stage
And I do my dance while the music plays
But when the music stops
Am I doing the walk
You can run with the big dogs
You can fly with the eagles
You can jump through all the hoops
And climb the ladder to the top
But when it all comes down
You know it all comes down to this
Do justly, love mercy
Walk humbly with your God
'Cause you can run with the big dogs
You can fly with the eagles
You can jump through all the hoops
And climb the ladder to the top
But when it all comes down
You know it all comes down, down, down, down, down
To the walk
I've got a Grandpa Rudd He gave thirty years to the lumber yard Loving his family and working hard Got a faith like a solid rock He's just doing the walk I've got a friend named Larry He sends me letters from a foreign land He moved there with his kids and his pretty wife Mary To answer a holy call He's just doing the walk You can run with the big dogs You can fly with the eagles You can jump through all the hoops And climb the ladder to the top But when it all comes down You know it all comes down to the walk There's a man I know He said He'd come to show us the way He died on a cross and He rose from the grave And proved He was more than talk He taught us the walk And now I'm singing my songs Standing up on a big, bright stage And I do my dance while the music plays But when the music stops Am I doing the walk You can run with the big dogs You can fly with the eagles You can jump through all the hoops And climb the ladder to the top But when it all comes down You know it all comes down to this Do justly, love mercy Walk humbly with your God 'Cause you can run with the big dogs You can fly with the eagles You can jump through all the hoops And climb the ladder to the top But when it all comes down You know it all comes down, down, down, down, down To the walk Explain Request ×
