Walk A Little Plainer Daddy

Walk a little plainer Daddy
said a little boy so frail.
I'm following in your footsteps
and I don't want to fail.
Sometimes your steps are very plain,
sometimes they are hard to see,
so walk a little plainer Daddy
for you are leading me.

I know that once you walked this way
many years ago
and what you did along the way
I'd really like to know
for sometimes when I'm tempted
I don't know what to do.
So walk a little plainer Daddy
for I must follow you.

Some day when I'm all grown up
you are like what I want to be.
Then I will have a little boy
who will want to follow me
and I would want to lead him right
and help him to be true.
So walk a little plainer Daddy
for we must follow you.
