How can I generate a list of files with their absolute path in Linux?

I am writing a shell script that takes file paths as input.

For this reason, I need to generate recursive file listings with full paths. For example, the file bar has the path:

/home/ken/foo/bar

but, as far as I can see, both ls and find only give relative path listings:

./foo/bar   (from the folder ken)

It seems like an obvious requirement, but I can’t see anything in the find or ls man pages.

How can I generate a list of files in the shell including their absolute paths?
