50 million years ago you walked upon the planet so.

Lord of all that you can see, just a little bit like me.

Walking in your footsteps, walking in your footsteps.

Walking in your footsteps, walking in your footsteps.

 

Hey, mister dinosaur, you really couldn't ask for more.

You're God's favorite creature, but you didn't have a future.

Walking in your footsteps, walking in your footsteps.

Walking in your footsteps, walking in your footsteps.

 

Hey, mighty brontosaurus don't you have a lesson for us?

Thought your rule would always last, there were no lessons in your past.

You were built three stories high, they say you would not hurt a fly.

If we explode the atom bomb, what they say that we were dumb.

Walking in your footsteps, walking in your footsteps.

Walking in your footsteps, walking in your footsteps.

 

They say the meek shall inherit the earth.

They say the meek shall inherit the earth.

 

Walking in your footsteps, walking in your footsteps.

Walking in your footsteps, walking in your footsteps.
