Walk softly child,
walk softly while you're walking through that door.
Walk softly child,
there's no telling what you might be walking for.
Speak mildly child,
speak mildly and anger will not flame.
Take cover child,
take cover while they're calling out your name.
Be patient child,
be patient let the pain just float away.
Walk softly child,
walk softly while you're running through this day.
