Go At Your Own Pace, Benny


Go at your own pace, Benny,

On this hike to Millard Falls.

Your siblings travel much faster, Benny

Then you're able to when small.


Go at your own pace, Benny.

And watch where your foot will fall.

This trail's challenge enough for you, Benny,

So give to your steps your all.


Go at your own pace, Benny.

And cease "Lee and Rose!" to call.

They're caught up in the thrill, Benny.

And it's good for them not to stall.


Although you long to be with them, Benny,

As they run to see what's next,

You'll always find someone with you, Benny,

When you go at your own pace.
