’WALK MORE SOFTLY’ by Jock Bartley c 2008


I KNOW SOMETIMES I’VE BEEN A BULL IN A CHINA SHOP
I’VE BEEN BREAKING VALUABLE THINGS AT MOST EVERY TURN
I’D GET SO WRAPPED UP I’D CHARGE AROUND
AND BULLY ABOUT I COULDN’T SEEM TO STOP
BUT FINALLY NOW THERE’S NUMBER OF THINGS I’VE LEARNED

WALK MORE SOFTLY ON THIS PLANET
WALK MORE SOFTLY ON THIS GROUND
WE’RE ALL IN THIS SAME NEIGHBORHOOD
AND WE NEED TO TREAT EACH OTHER GOOD
WALK MORE SOFTLY WITH YOUR LOVED ONES
WALK MORE SOFTLY WITH YOUR FRIENDS
IT’S TIME TO FIND VALUE AND VALIDATE WORTH
I KNOW I NEED TO WALK MORE SOFTLY ON THE EARTH
WALK MORE SOFTLY ON THE EARTH

I’VE HEARD THAT A MAN OF WISDOM DON’T EVER SAY MUCH
AND A MAN OF CONFIDENCE DOESN’T SCREAM AND SHOUT
AND SAY HEY LOOK AT ME
AND IF I GIVE MORE OF MYSELF
AND DO WHATEVER I CAN TO HELP
I CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN ME AND FOR EVERYONE ELSE

WALK MORE SOFTLY ON THIS PLANET
WALK MORE SOFTLY ON THIS GROUND
WE’RE ALL IN THIS WORLD TOGETHER
AND WE CAN CHANGE WHAT’S GOING DOWN
WALK MORE SOFTLY WITH YOUR LOVED ONES
WALK MORE SOFTLY WITH YOUR FRIENDS
IT’S TIME TO FIND VALUE AND VALIDATE WORTH
I KNOW WE NEED TO WALK MORE SOFTLY ON THE EARTH
WALK MORE SOFTLY ON THE EARTH

LET’S DO ANOTHER STUDY AND WAIT TO SEE IF THE OCEANS RISE
WHY DON’T WE MAKE ANOTHER SHINY NEW TANK
FOR CRUISING THE LONG HIGHWAY
LET’S WATER EVERY LAWN AND GOLF COURSE FROM PHOENIX TO L.A.
AND LET’S JETTISON ALL OUR GARBAGE SO FAR OUT INTO SPACE
AND PRETEND THERE’S NOTHIN WRONG WITH THE HUMAN RACE

WALK MORE SOFTLY ON THIS PLANET
WALK MORE SOFTLY ON SACRED GROUND
WALK MORE SOFTLY OUT IN NATURE
WALK MORE SOFTLY ALL AROUND
PLEASE WE MUST TAKE CARE OF HER
I KNOW WE NEED TO WALK MORE SOFTLY ON THE EARTH
WALK MORE SOFTLY ON THE EARTH
WALK MORE SOFTLY ON THE EARTH
WALK MORE SOFTLY
WALK MORE SOFTLY ON THE EARTH
WALK MORE SOFTLY
