Lyrics

Sometimes walking this path I know
Haven’t stopped to see the show
Listened to what friends have to say
Or paid attention to Nature’s way
Things get busier every day
More things to buy, more bills to pay
People say which row to hoe
Often against the natural flow

It’s like we're walking through a jungle
And sometimes we're walking blind
Afraid of what lies before us
Of a world that seems unkind
Don’t ignore the inner voice *
That reminds us of what we know
You've got to stop and look and listen
Walking, this path I know

Sometimes late in the night
I glimpse a splendid guiding light
Or see in a gentle river flow
The deep serenity of my soul
Sometimes within the common noise
When we feel there is no choice
A gentle stream still can flow
To calm the chaos of the world we know

It’s like we're walking through a jungle
And sometimes we're walking blind
Afraid of what lies before us
Of a world that seems unkind
Don’t ignore the inner voice *
That reminds us of what we know
You've got to stop and look and listen
Walking, this path I know
