Walk the walk<\/h2>\n

They keep a close watch on these hearts of ours
\nOur Gour-Nitai like walkin\u2019 more than cars
\nNo time to fuss, fret, pout, or even balk
\nWe don\u2019t just talk, we walk the walk.<\/p>\n

To Gour-Nitai it\u2019s so easy to be true
\nThey pick you up even when you\u2019re feelin\u2019 blue
\nSo chant and dance and grow your creeper\u2019s stalk
\nWe don\u2019t just talk, we walk the walk.<\/p>\n

Throughout the dark of night and light of day
\nWe\u2019ll keep Them on our minds, that is the way
\nTo taste the bliss that makes all people gawk
\nWe don\u2019t just talk, we walk the walk.<\/p>\n

They have Their ways to keep us on Their side
\nFor Gour-Nitai our love we just can\u2019t hide
\nAnd Prabhupada he\u2019ll watch us like a hawk
\nHe\u2019s walks his talk, he walks the walk.<\/p>\n

ALL SHOUT: \u201cARE YOU READY TO WALK THE WALK?!\u201d<\/p>\n

The song is a parody of a famous country rock song called “Walk the Line,” originally written and sung in the 1950s by a famous American singer named Johnny Cash. Cash was singing about his woman. Suresvara Prabhu, an American disciple of Srila Prabhupada, adapted the lyrics so we could sing it for Gour-Nitai and their Padayatra.<\/p>\n

If you want to know the tune he sang onstage with other devotees during the last Gaura Purnima festival in Mayapur, just Google “walk the line johnny cash,” click on the YouTube icon, and listen to him sing.<\/p>\n
