Walk The Walk
My mother spent 10 years sitting by a window
Scared if she spoke she would die of a heart attack
She listened as her dreams silently screamed
They drowned like little dolphins caught in a fishnet
Dear world I'm pleased to meet you
Hey everybody when you walk the walk
You gotta back it all up you gotta talk the talk
Hey everybody when I hear the knock
Don't want to measure out my life to the tick of a clock
Hey everybody when my daddy died
He had a sad sad story written in his eyes
Hey everybody when you walk the walk
You cannot measure out your life to the tick of a clock
I want to walk to the beat of my own drum
I want to walk to the beat of my own drum
I want to walk to the beat of my own drum
I want to walk to the beat of my own drum
Hey everybody
When you walk the walk you gotta back it all up
and talk and talk
Hey everybody when I hear the knock
Don't want to measure out my life to the tick of a clock
Hey everybody
Can you walk the walk?
I want to walk to the beat of my own drum
I want to walk to the beat of my own drum
I want to walk to the beat of my own drum
I want to walk to the beat of my own drum
I want to walk to the beat of my own drum
I want to walk to the beat of my own drum
I want to live to the beat of my own drum
I want to laugh to the beat of my own drum
Take to the beat of my own drum
Heal to the beat of my own drum
pleased to meet you
