john mellencamp - walk tall lyrics

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
