Don Williams - Where Do I Go from Here

Long Walk from Childhood

Sandman, Candyman, Jesus and Dad
A furry soft bed to hold
Puppy paws, Santa Claus, and not being bad
Believin' in what you're told

Oh, the world of a child is all black and white
And prayers are easy to say
No shades of gray cloud, wrong and right
I followed life that way

On the long walk from childhood
The long walk from childhood

Time flies, eager eyes hungry to see
Find holes in holy things
Idols fall, one and all, and truth is a cheat
That dances on puppet strings

And the soldier's gun is a mockery
Of the Sunday prayers that we prayed
Wrong is right and right is wrong
I measured life that way

On the long walk from childhood
The long walk from childhood

Answer man, Preacher man, thinker and Bum
Life is a marketplace
Hear them cry, "Will you buy? And march to my drum"
We'll save the human race

So I hum the words and I dance the tune
And change a bit every day
Find the truth where I can, if I can
Each step along the way

On the long walk from childhood
The long walk from childhood
