Walk with Me

Lisa Mitchell
The days go in and out,
On and on and further out,
Quietness I always find,
In my heart
In my mind
Give me a sunny day
Give me a field of hay
Under the gumtrees,
Walk with me
Walk with me
Walk with me
Walk with me
I've seen your face before,
I know those lines,
I've done those chores
Mother, Father, restless souls
Walk with me
Walk with me
Under the Milky Way,
There's dozens of us left to play,
Neighbour neighbour matchstick maker,
Walk with me
Walk with me
Walk with me
Walk with me
I want to stay up late,
I want to feel your pain,
I can't wait
I want to hold your hand
I want to understand this broken land
Nobody deserves this
Nobody deserves this
Nobody deserves this
Nobody deserves this
When you were in the cage,
Tied and bound and locked away,
What did you cling to?
Talk to me
Talk to me
What did it look like?
What did it feel like?
Was it a golden thread,
A glowing light,
An angel's head
I want to stay up late,
I want to feel your pain,
I can't wait
I want to hold your hand
I want to understand this broken land
Nobody deserves this
Nobody deserves this
Nobody deserves this
Nobody deserves this
The days go in and out,
On and on and further out,
Quietness I always find,
In my heart
In my mind
