Walking in your footsteps lyrics

Fifty million years ago,

You walked upon the planet so,

Lord of all that you could see,

Just a little bit like me.

Walking in your footsteps,

Walking in your footsteps,

Walking in your footsteps,

Walking in your footsteps.

Hey Mr. Dinosaur,

You really couldn't ask for more,

You were God's favorite creature,

But you didn't have a future.

Walking in your footsteps,

Walking in your footsteps,

Walking in your footsteps,

Walking in your footsteps.

Hey, mighty brontosaurus,

Don't you have a lesson for us,

You thought your rule would always last,

There were no lessons in your past.

You were built three stories high,

They say you would not hurt a fly,

If we explode the atom bomb,

Would they say that we were dumb?

We're walking in your footsteps,

Walking in your footsteps,

Walking in your footsteps,

Walking in your footsteps.

They say the meek shall inherit the Earth,

They say the meek shall inherit the Earth,

Walking in your footsteps,

Walking in your footsteps,

Walking in your footsteps,

Walking in your footsteps.

Walking in your footsteps,

Walking in your footsteps,

Walking in your footsteps,

Walking in your footsteps.
