When I was a very small boy
(Just a small boy)
Looked through the cornfields

And wonder (oh, I wondered)
If every man had his own piece of land
So he'd never know hunger


Oh, the time quickly rode along
(Yes, it did now) I grew up

And I left home, Lord knows
I'm sorry I ever left
I see people starving to death


You walk easy, my son (easy)
That's what my daddy said to me

Said, you be a man
And you learn all you can
? and you'll be free


Oh, I remember one rainy day back home
(I remember) Sally Brown's house

Burned down (yes, it did now) and
Everybody had to lend a helping hand
Folks came from miles around


They didn't do this
Expecting something in return

They simply did it because they cared
And these were the kind of folk
If they had anything at all

They were more than willing to share

And Daddy said, you walk easy, boy

(Walk easy) yeah, and when your
Trouble get to falling like rain
(You gotta walk easy)


Hey, I want you to understand
You keep on stepping, man

Cause it'll only bring you cold?

And now that I'm out here

In this big old world
I hear strange world like pollution
And I see a man that needs

A helping hand have to go somewhere
To find his own solution


Oh, my Lord, how this
Whole world had changed
I say, God, save us all

Yeah, I hate the day that I ever came
This world is heading
For a great big fall


And you walk easy, son (easy)
Yeah, that's what my Daddy

Said to me, he said
You know you can't trust everyone
Cause it will only bring you misery


You walk easy, my son (easy)
And when your trouble get

To falling like rain, oh
Don't you try to trust everybody, child
Cause it will only bring you pain
