Adam Cole: Music

He's Gonna Walk

(

June 14, 2010
This song was inspired by my son Samuel, who was just a baby when it was written. He still hadn't started walking and we were concerned. I wrote this song as a show of optimism, though it's disguised as a gospel tune. I'd love to hear a real gospel performance of it someday!
He's Gonna Walk

Don't you know he's gonna walk
He's gonna walk to the light of a new day
You know he's gonna walk
He's gonna walk to the light of a new day
Oh, before he wears that crown he's gonna vie with the thing that brings him down
He's gonna walk
He's gonna walk in the light of a new day.

Don't you know he's gonna talk
He's gonna talk in the light of a new day
You know he's gonna talk
He's gonna talk in the light of a new day
Oh, while he's still young, he's gonna vie with the thing that ties his tongue
He's gonna talk.
He's gonna talk in the light of a new day.

Don’t you know he's gonna sing
He's gonna sing to the light of a new day
You know he's gonna sing
He's gonna sing to the light of a new day…
Oh, he's gonna lift his throat, he's gonna change that cry into the highest note
He's gonna sing.
He's gonna sing to the light of a new day.

I don't have no cause to doubt it.
I don't have no cause to be afraid.
I don't have to know the answer
Oh, the plans are laid.

Don't you know he's gonna shine
He's gonna shine in the light of a new day
You know he's gonna shine
He's gonna shine in the light of a new day
Oh, he's gonna glow so bright, he's gonna shine like the sun in the darkest light
He's gonna shine.
He's gonna shine in the light of a new day.
