You Can Still Walk Tall

Yeah, yeah
Yeah

I know you're hurting
Baby, what can I say?
Can the pot say to the potter
Why did you make me this way
And when the pain
Drives you down to your knees
And you cry out for help in the darkness
That's the safest place you can be

Hey, baby
Baby, you could still walk tall
You just move a little slower now
That's all
Slow enough to notice
The beautiful and small
Baby, you can't run anymore
But you can still walk tall

The doctors say
There's nothing more they can do
Yeah, but just 'cause they're closing the book
That don't mean the story is through
A wise man once told me
When your road's at an end
You just hang onto hope anyway
And that's where a new road begins

Hey, baby
Baby, you can still walk tall
You just move a little slower now
That's all
Slow enough to notice
The beautiful and small
Baby, you can't run anymore
But you can still walk tall

I don't believe this life is for nothing
And not a moment escapes
The good Lord's eyes
This world tries to tell you there's no answer
But if true love is real
That must be a lie
That must be a lie

I am your friend
I know that's understood
And if we could trade places right now
Baby, you know that I would
Life can be hard
And the future's unknown
But our saving grace is the promise
We don't have to face it alone

Hey, baby
Baby, you could still walk tall
You just move a little slower now
That's all
And in your humbled silence
You'll hear your Father call
Baby, you can't run anymore
But you'll dance again someday for sure
Baby, you can't run anymore
But you can still walk tall
You can still walk tall
You could still walk tall
Baby, you could still walk tall
