I've got a Grandpa Rudd
He gave thirty years to the lumberyard
Loving his family and working hard
Got a faith like a solid rock
He's just doing the walk
I've got a friend named Larry
He sends me letters from a foreign land
He moved there with his kids and his pretty wife Mary
To answer a holy call
He's just doing the walk

You can run with the big dogs, you can fly with the eagles
You can jump through all the hoops and climb the ladder to the top
But when it all comes down, you know it all comes down to the walk
It all comes down to the walk

There's a man I know
He said He'd come to show us the way
He died on a cross and He rose from the grave
And proved He was more than talk
He taught us the walk
And now I'm singing my songs
Standing up on a big, bright stage
And I do my dance while the music plays
But when the music stops
Am I doing the walk?

You can run with the big dogs, you can fly with the eagles
You can jump through all the hoops and climb the ladder to the top
But when it all comes down, you know it all comes down to this

Do justly, love mercy, walk humbly with your God
Do justly, love mercy, walk humbly with your God
Do justly, love mercy, walk humbly with your God
Do justly, love mercy, walk humbly with your God

You can run with the big dogs, you can fly with the eagles
You can jump through all the hoops and climb the ladder to the top
But when it all comes down, you know it all comes down to the walk
It all comes down to the walk
