Walk Tall

The simple minded

And the uninformed

Can be easily led astray

And those that cannot connect the dots

Hey look the other way

People believe what they want to believe

When it makes no sense at all

So be careful of those killing in Jesus's name*

He don't believe in killing at all*

And I wish you a long sight line %

And the strength to walk tall %

Walk tall

Yeah walk on

Through this world

Walk tall

Somewhere out in the distance

Is the death of you and me

Even though we don't think of it much

It's still out there for us to see

If you treat life like a ballroom fight

You'll die stinking of gin

No drunkards are allowed in heaven

No sinners will get in

Walk tall

Yeah, walk on

Walk tall

Through this world

Walk tall

So be careful in what you believe in

There's plenty to get you confused

And in this land called paradise

You must walk in many men's shoes

Bigotry and hatred are enemies to us all

Grace, mercy and forgiveness

Will help a man walk tall

So walk tall

Yeah, walk on

Walk tall

Through this world

Through this world

Yeah, walk tall

Then walk on

Walk tall

Then walk on

Through this world

Through this world

Through this world

Through this world

Walk tall

Walk tall

Then walk on

Walk tall

Thank You

Written by: John Mellencamp

Let me say thank-you to those who love many

Let me say thank-you to those who still play fair

Hallelujah, the meek shall inherit

Let me say thank-you to all you people out there, out there

Let me say grace for those who don't feel they matter

May God look down on all the soldiers of this Earth

Trying to find peace in this world that house so many

Let me say grace for those who feel lost from birth, lost from birth

Let's give a smile for those who feel that they have nothing

Let me shake the hand of Johnny Doe out on the street

Let's give a wink for those girls who don't feel pretty

Let's find some water for those who need a drink, need a drink

And when I see so many broken and lonely

Soon to be entering Heaven's door

Let me count the ways

Let me count the blessings

That no man should feel lonely anymore

Let me say good luck to the people raising families

Let me say thank-you to the men who grow the bread

And here's to dreams of a bigger, brighter future

And that we all got someone to keep the stones from our bed

Let me say thank-you to those who love many

Let me say thank-you for those who still play fair

Hallelujah, the meek shall inherit

Let me say thank-you to all you folks out there

All you people out there
