Oh, to stand in the shade
I spend my whole time walking
Moving, moving forward
Left front of right
Right front of left
My arms and legs
Burned by sun and wind
My hands black with tan
And white, so dry
The contrast, one thing stays the same
Oh, to stand in the shade
I spend my whole time walking
Moving, moving forward
Left front of right
Right front of left
My shirt, my shorts
My shoes, my hat
My only protection
From the world outside
Walk from shade to shade
Oh, to stand in the shade
Moving, moving forward
Forward I walk, I walk
I ask no questions
Get no replies
My life is to serve
Not to wonder why
Moving, moving forward
Forward I walk, I walk
Walking from shade to shade
Oh, to stand in the shade
