But I'm walking with power, sunny day stride.
I ain't sugar; I won't melt and sure won't hide.

Let rain stain my silk, birthmark me free.
Don't offer me rides, or think me out of my tree.
The sky may be leaden and the forecast low
But what's that to me when I know what I know?

I ain't sugar; I won't melt and I won't hide.
That's me walking with power, a sunny day stride.

I'm healthy, I'm strong, I've got a mind to boot
I'm adept at putting the shoe on the other foot,
Seeing the world from flip side round. Now,
I've time off and I'll see the whole executive town.

I'm walking with power, a sunny day stride.
I ain't sugar and I don't eat no humble pie.
