Walk Like a Child

The following composition is not mine. I heard it a few years ago and happened to write it down. Today I came across it and would like to share it. This piece so beautifully portrays the freedom, the innocence and hope that children have and that we as adults long to have …

Walk Like a Child

I want to walk in peace
Through the fields and by the trees
I want to dodge through the breeze
Like a little child; can I please?

I want to smell the sand
I want to hold a hand
And sing a little tune
I want to touch the stars and the moon.

So many don’ts and so many do’s
I just want to be me
A golden shackle what’s the use
Can’t I just be free?

I want to dream with abandon
I want to walk through the meadows
To the light and to the sun
And away from the dark shadows.

Walk like a child
Walk with me
To the land of peace
To the land of the free.

Walk with faith
A cheerful gait
Dream with passion
It’s never too late.

Walk with joy
Walk with trust
Because there’s plenty of shade
After the heat and dust.
