The Walkathon Song ♪
Words & Music by James Havens
It's a beautiful day to make a change
Gonna lace up my shoes and be on my way
We'll gather at Meijyo Park… alright
And be home before the stars light up the night
Let's walk under the sun… every step we take is for everyone!
[chorus]
Walk-a-thon, walk with me
Celebrating thirty-five years of glee
Walk-a-thon, look up above
Just feel the pride as we fill the world with love (ohh, ohh, ohh)
Walk-a-thon, you and me, let's make a difference for the community!
“Happy days, are here to stay”
SOLO
So, join us in the fun… let's see those hands c'mon everyone!
[chorus]
(CLAP)
Walk-a-thon, walk with me
Celebrating thirty-five years of glee
Walk-a-thon, side by side
Feel the pride with every stride
Walk-a-thon, just once a year, to make a difference, we gather here!
Walk-a-thon, look up above
Just feel the pride as we fill the world with love
(ohh, ohh, ohh)
Walk-a-thon! We'll fill the worid with love (ohh, ohh, ohh) x2
Walk-a-thon, is here to stay, sure was good to see you out here today! (CLAPS)
