Walk With Me

Walk with me

Walk, walk with me

Without you I do not see
A burning heart, A burning flame
Comfort is all I wish
Alone alone, there I stand

Walk, walk with me

Spreading arms reach out
Black clouds now smother
No passage for light
No passage for my soul

Walk with me I cry
Walk with me I scream
A hand
A word
A whisper
Anything is all I need

Why has sweet freedom left
Leaving without my breathe
Come back, come back

Walk, walk with me!

Accept me, accept me
That is all I wish
You laugh at me
I’m different
I laugh at you
Your all the same
Yet all I wish

Walk, walk with me

Tug and tease
Tug and tease

Leave me my corner
Oh kiss me my freedom
Oh won’t you hold me in yours arms tonight

Wash, wash away those rain clouds
Let the light warm
I’m cold, I’m Chilled
My face now blue
Let the light warm!

Walk with me over
Walk with me under
Walk with me through

My light, My light
O won’t you walk with me
