"walk a little slower, daddy"
said a child so small,
"I'm following in your footsteps
and I don't want to fall.
sometimes your steps are very fast,
sometimes they're hard to see;
so walk a little slower, daddy,
for you are leading me.
someday when I'm all grown up,
you're what I want to be;
then I will have a little child
who'll want to follow me.
and I would want to lead just right,
and know that I was true,
so walk a little slower, daddy,
for I must follow you."
