The furry soft bear took hold
Believing in what you're told
Oh, the world of a child is
And brains are easy to see
Those shades of grey cloud rolling light
I thought of 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 for one and all and truth is a cheat
That dances on puppet strings
And the soldier's gun is a mockery
Sunday prayers that we pray
Wrong is right and right is wrong
On the long walk from childhood,
the long walk from childhood
preacher man, thinker and bum
will you buy and march to my drum
We'll save the human race
And change a bit every day
Find the truth where I can, if I can
On the long walk from childhood
The long walk from childhood
