🎤 “The Walk” – Mike White Cloudwalker (Speed)
[Intro – Spoken / Soft Pads + “hum hum hum”]
(hum… hum… hum…)
Tell me about your walk…
Tell me about your walk…
[Verse 1 – Father Speaking]
Tell me about your walk,
I know everybody knows you…
But I still wonder… I still worry about you.
You feel like nobody cares about you…
But I pray for your safety all the time.
Every time you walk out that door, man…
Anything can happen…
And I don’t know—
I’m not in your head…
I’m not in your business…
…but you are my son.
I just care about you.
[Pre-Chorus – Reflective]
It’s kinda funny… (hum… hum…)
I was no different than you…
Young…
I wanted things my way…
[Verse 2 – Testimony]
I got caught up… women… drugs…
Till the streets got tired
of seeing me walk that pavement.
I had to choose—
Keep playing in life with no reward…
Or make something happen.
Then I met your mother…
We turned it around…
She helped me see life differently.
Got a job…
Started thinking about us…
Building something real.
[Chorus – Smooth, Harmonized (New Edition style)]
Tell me about your walk…
Tell me where you’re heading…
Tell me how you feel inside…
It’s all about your walk…
Come on… come on…
Tell me about your walk…
You gotta care for yourself first…
Before you care for someone else…
So tell me about your walk…
[Verse 3 – Emotional Peak]
Never thought about having a child…
Never crossed my mind…
But the day you were born—
I put my toys away.
Started knocking on doors…
Hearing “No… not today…”
Job interviews…
“We’ll keep your application…”
Tears ran down my face…
More times than you know…
But I learned…
How to turn those “no’s” into “yes.”
[Bridge – Deep Talk / Sit-Down Moment]
That’s why I’m talking to you now…
It’s time…
Put the toys away.
Stop walking those streets…
I know you got goald n you…
You are creative… you are gifted…
Turn it around…
So one day…
You can tell your son—
[Break / Call & Response]
Tell me about your walk… (tell me…)
Tell me about your walk… (your walk…)
Where are you heading…?
Oh yeah… oh yeah…
[Outro – Emotional / Choir Fade]
I want you to know…
Your mother and I…
We love you…
Even when I’m not there…
I’m walking right beside you.
You my son…
My son… my son…
So just tell me…
You're gonna be alright…
(along your journey…)
Ohhhh… I care…
I care…
I care…
(hum… hum… fade…)
