take this walk with me.

my heart is like a child longing to travel

with every mile it continues to unravel
my heart is like a house awaiting a deep cleaning
apart from the dust of old days i am leaning
my heart is like a bride upon an altar who shakes
faint with love i am here to wait

wait upon the days of new life and new words
new grace and mercy He has assured

come and take a walk with me down MY street

these are my friends and my family, don't you see?

they take advantage of life as they go

with every bad choice it might unfavorably explode

so take this walk with me

as i seek out to return a penny
for you don't understand
this life was never in a human hand

i live to love and i love to live

i'll show you my pride that i struggle to forgive
cause in the end i count my days

easy or hard i give and i pray

all of your change i will turn away

im setting sail from a dock no longer at bay

still won't you take this walk with me

the reality of a need to live this life a lot differently

hear me once, hear me twice

i strive for what no martin luther could advise

a change in the heart is a change in the life

to you who breathes and thinks, for this may you strive
