Walk a Little Plainer, Daddy

Walk a little plainer, Daddy,
Said a little child 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 am tempted,
I don't know what to do.
So walk a little plainer, Daddy,
For I must follow you.

Someday when I'm grown up,
You are like I want to be.
Then I will have a little child,
Who will want to follow me.
And I would want to lead them right,
And help them to be true.
So walk a little plainer, Daddy.
For we must follow you.
