WALK TOGETHER CHILDREN Walk together children don't you get weary. Walk together children don't you get weary. Walk together children don't you get weary. There's a great camp meeting in the promise land.
{subsitute other verbs in the first line such as "sing together" & "pray together"; for non-religious children's groups, you might also substitute action words like these: "march together", "hop" together", "clap together", stomp together" "stomp" meaning to hit your foot down hard on the floor or ground so that your foot makes a bass sound}
