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
