I Don't Walk Alone

I Don’t Walk Alone
Lyrics © 2026 Mark Ward. All rights reserved.
(Verse 1)
Dust on my boots, sun on my back,
Every mile earned, every breath a check.
I hear old voices in the wind and trees,
Whispered truths comin’ up through me.
Gravel roads and weathered stone,
Every step says I’m not alone.
I ain’t just flesh and broken bone,
I carry more than my own.
(pre-chorus)
There’s a line behind me a hundred strong,
Bent but never truly gone.
Their hands steadying my stride,
I walk with them on my side.
(chorus)
When I walk, I don’t walk alone,
All those before me walk along.
Every scar, every creed,
Every hard-earned lesson I believe.
I stand here carryin’ their flame,
And I’m plantin’ my feet for the ones that’ll come my way.
I don’t just speak for yesterday—
I represent what will come after me.
(verse 2)
I’ve felt their weight in the choices I make,
In the lines I cross and the ground I break.
Blood runs deeper than time can tell,
Through church-bell rings and rebel yells.
I’ve stumbled hard, I’ve lost my way,
But their shadows pulled me straight.
Every fall just taught me how
To stand up taller right now.
(pre-chorus)
I don’t take lightly where I stand,
This dirt was held by calloused hands.
I walk it honest, slow and true,
’Cause I know who I’m walkin’ through.
(chorus)
When I walk, I don’t walk alone,
All those before me walk along.
Every scar, every creed,
Every hard-earned lesson I believe.
I stand here carryin’ their flame,
And I’m plantin’ my feet for the ones that’ll come my way.
I don’t just speak for yesterday—
I represent what will come after me.
(bridge)
I’m the bridge between then and now,
The promise made and the vow.
What I do echoes down the line,
Long after I'm dead and gone.
(spoken words)
Yeah, this road don’t end with me…
(final chorus)
When I walk, I don’t walk alone,
I feel ’em in my blood and bone.
I live my life so they’d be proud,
And I leave a mark that speaks out loud.
I carry the past, I stand my ground,
I light the way when the sun goes down.
I don’t just live for yesterday—
I represent what will come after me.

(outro)
I don’t walk alone…
No, I don’t walk alone.
