Sidewalk under my feet,
What would you say if you could speak?
What kind of people did you meet?
Were they proud or meek?
Sidewalk, what kind of events have you been through?
Have people danced for joy,
Or cried tears that fell upon you?
Sidewalk under my feet,
What would you say if you could speak?

The date on you is from long ago,
You have lived through some troubled times
But through other times when with pride people did glow.
Have there ever been committed on you crimes?
Oh sidewalk if you could speak!
Would you tell us to take life slower?
Is your advice to climb more peaks?
And to stoop a little lower?
Sidewalk under my feet,
What would you say if you could speak?
