Now we are walking in the footsteps of our fathers

Standing in the shadows of our mothers

Trying to learn from those who came before us

I see the road maps in the lines upon their face And as I look out on this crazy congregation

The truth is inside we're all the same

So come on all my sisters and my brothers

Let's go walking, walking in the footsteps of our fathers I'm the first to say I don't know what I'm doing

I ain't gonna preach what I don't know

'Cause I ain't no deep theologer, no Ph.D psychologer

I'm making all this *** up as I go But I know for sure we're all in this together

And in a thousand years we still won't get it right

So let's rip a page out of old Hank Williams hymnal

Let's have little church right here tonight As we go walking in the footsteps of our fathers

Standing in the shadows of our mothers

Trying to learn from those who came before us

I see the road maps in the lines upon their face And as I look out on this crazy congregation

The truth is inside we're all the same

Come on all my sisters and my brothers

Let's go walking, walking in the footsteps of our fathers As I look down at the brother of my daughter

As I kneel and kiss the sister of my son

I only hope I leave the righteous path to follow

As they go walking We are walking in the footsteps of our fathers

We are walking in the footsteps of our fathers

Standing in the shadows of our mothers

Trying to learn from those who came before us

I see the road maps in the lines upon their face As I look out on this crazy congregation

The truth is inside we're all the same

So come on all my sisters and my brothers

Let's go walking, walking in the footsteps of our fathers

We are walking, walking in the footsteps
