Mary Mary - Walking Lyrics
Lyrics
Tell me what you see when I pass by
Shadow, a cloud, or a line in the sky
Am I getting you wrong or am I getting you right?
Well, all I can take is one, one step at a time
Look at me
I'm trying
Everyday
I fall down
Make mistakes
Get back up
Try again
Next time you see me
I'm walking, I'm walking, I'm walking
I'm walking, I'm walking, I'm walking
I'm walking, I'm walking, I'm walking
I'm walking, I'm walking, I'm walking
Some people say walking takes too long
But I say with walking you can't go wrong
Why should you rush away through life?
You won't get very far running all the time
Look at me
I'm trying
Everyday
I fall down
Make mistakes
Get back up
Try again
Next time you see me
I'm walking, I'm walking, I'm walking
I'm walking, I'm walking, I'm walking
I'm walking, I'm walking, I'm walking
I'm walking, I'm walking, I'm walking
Why does my life say about me
Can't anyone see
Does it show I rock with the greatest?
I can't get back the time I spent
Use the rest of it to show the world how I made it
I'm walking, I'm walking, I'm walking
I'm walking, I'm walking, I'm walking
I'm walking, I'm walking, I'm walking
I'm walking, I'm walking, I'm walking

Meaning & Inspiration
Mary Mary’s powerful anthem, "Walking," released on their 2011 album *Something Big*, is more than just a song; it’s a profound declaration of unwavering faith and the steady, purposeful journey of a believer. This track resonates deeply by capturing the essence of trusting in God’s guidance, even when the path ahead is unclear. The duo masterfully articulates the biblical principle of walking by faith, not by sight, a concept woven throughout Scripture. This sentiment echoes the words of 2 Corinthians 5:7, which states, "For we walk by faith, not by appearance." The song’s core message encourages listeners to anchor their confidence in God's promises, drawing strength from His unchanging nature, much like David declared in Psalm 18:2, “The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”
"Walking" speaks directly to the human experience of facing life's uncertainties, yet it reframes these challenges not as obstacles to fear, but as opportunities to lean more heavily on divine wisdom. The lyrics evoke a sense of quiet determination, a commitment to continue forward with each step, knowing that God is the one leading. This perspective aligns with Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." Mary Mary’s delivery amplifies this message, conveying a resolute spirit that can only stem from a deep, abiding relationship with the Almighty. The song’s narrative invites individuals to embrace their spiritual walk, recognizing that true progress is measured not by visible achievements but by steadfast obedience and reliance on the One who sees the end from the beginning. It’s a reminder that while we may not always comprehend the grand design, we can trust the Architect of our lives, just as Jesus taught in Matthew 6:33, "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." Ultimately, "Walking" serves as a spiritual compass, guiding listeners toward a more courageous and faithful way of living, assured that their steps are ordered by divine grace.
