A million footsteps, this left foot drags behind my right
|
But I keep walking, from daybreak ‘til the falling night
|
And as days turn into weeks and years
|
And years turn into lifetimes
|
I just keep walking, like I've been walking for a thousand years
|
|
Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow,
|
Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow,
|
|
If you're walking to escape, to escape from your affliction
|
You'd be walking in a great circle, a circle of addiction
|
Did you ever wonder what you'd been carrying since the world was black?
|
You see yourself in a looking glass with a tombstone on your back
|
|
Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow,
|
Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow,
|
Walk away in anger, walk away in pain
|
Walk away from life itself, walk into the rain
|
|
All this wandering has led me to this place
|
Inside the well of my memory, sweet rain of forgiveness
|
I'm just hanging here in space
|
|
Now I'm suspended between my darkest fears and dearest hope
|
Yes I've been walking, now I'm hanging from a dead man's rope
|
With Hell below me, and Heaven in the sky above
|
I've been walking, I've been walking away from Jesus' love
|
|
Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow,
|
Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow,
|
Walk away in anger, walk away in pain
|
Walk away from life itself, walk into the rain
|
|
All this wandering has led me to this place
|
Inside the well of my memory, sweet rain of forgiveness
|
I'm just hanging here in space
|
|
The shadows fall
|
Around my bed
|
When the hand of an angel,
|
The hand of an angel is reaching down above my head
|
|
All this wandering has led me to this place
|
Inside the well of my memory, sweet rain of forgiveness
|
Now I'm walking in his grace
|
I'm walking in his footsteps
|
Walking in his footsteps,
|
Walking in his footsteps
|
|
All the days of my life I will walk with you
|
All the days of my life I will talk with you
|
All the days of my life I will share with you
|
All the days of my life I will bear with you
|
|
Walk away from emptiness, walk away from sorrow,
|
Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow,
|
Walk away from anger, walk away from pain
|
Walk away from anguish, walk into the rain.
