Walt Whitman went forth one day
Out in Brooklyn at the break of day
Walt Whitman went forth one day
A blue cathedral
And an urge to pray
Say hello to the ferry driver
Say hello to the river
Say hello to all the diamonds
Dancing free
In the sky…
Walt Whitman went forth one day
Manhattan yeah the noon-time chase
Walt Whitman went forth one day
Dusty pews
And an urge to pray
Say hello to the omnibus driver
Say hello to the hurdy hurdy
Say hello to the smoke
Dancing free
In the sky…
Walt Whitman went forth one day
In New York at the close of day
Walt Whitman went forth one day
Crystal Palace
And an urge to pray
Say hello to the future
Say hello to fairy stories
Say hello to chaser lights
You're dancing free..
