Walking
You have to walk away before you can walk in
Something must die for a new to begin
So lace up the Rockport and sing, "Good Day."
Then gracefully walk with no delay
Shaking the old, dusty, haggard load
Now ease on down, ease on down the road
Know that walking away is not a sign of cowardice
Instead, it speaks to strength so walk in your purpose
Move boldly and aimfully ahead
Only sit at the table where LOVE is fed
This old cycle of life gon' keep on a turnin'
So make sure that the fire in your soul keeps a burnin'
Walking, walking upright in the sunshine of life
Far away from the dark clouds of strife
Feeling the blessed rays from the sun
Giving sweet praise to the Almighty One
Just keep that rhythmic heel-to-toe flow
No looking back, straight ahead to your new chateau
