Candyman, Je sus and Daddy
Believing in what you're told
Oh, the world of a child is
And prayers are easy to say
No shades of grey cloud on the sky
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 follow one and all,
That dances on puppet strings
And the soldier's guard is a mockery
Of the 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
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
On the long walk from childhood
The long walk from childhood
