Tread lightly O my darling boy
upon this earthly crust,
and do not fear the so-called giants
for soon they'll turn to dust.
Tread lightly O my darling boy
upon the hearts of others,
for even if they're cold as ice
they're still your kindred brothers.
Tread lightly O my darling boy
upon the path you take,
remember those who travel by
and be kind for kindness sake.
Tread lightly O my darling boy
upon the stormy seas,
rescue those who need your help
and take good care of these.
Tread lightly O my darling boy
upon this fragile earth,
but if you're called to war one day
fight fair for all you're worth.
Tread lightly O my darling boy
upon this planet blue,
and when you cross the finish line
it's there I'll wait for you.....
