Walking Like Daddy
Daddy was strong and pure and proud
And he walked next to God, unafraid
Daddy went forth with head unbowed
Never stumbled or stopped or strayed
Though he no longer walks beside us
Still his footprints are here to guide us
Daddy was what I hope to be
And his path will be my path too
Every step, every day, every inch of the way
I'll be walkin' like Daddy, talkin' like Daddy
Doin' what Daddy would do
