river of strolls

Tear down the walls

Tear them down

Down to the ground

We will burn the wood in a ceremonial pyre

Warm yourself beside the flames of my desire

 

Tear down the fears, cold as ice

The ones that keep you running in your dreams

all night

Fill the space that remains with gentle peace

Let the lifetime of running in place cease

 

Tear down the guilt, the anxiety of the shame

Let yourself know my love as sweet rain

Falling softly from my heart here, up high

Let the music of your long held breath

out in a slow sung sigh

 

The tasks of your tortured time have taken their toll

The paths of our tender time will create a river of strolls

Let the river show us the paths we are to travel

Walk them with me, your chains we will unravel

Until you find yourself fully free

Take my hand, darling.....walk with me

We will walk until your conscience stills

To the soundtrack of the crickets and the whippoorwills

 

Tears of joy travel down your fair face

Allow the humble healing, gather up the grace

As your fortresses fall, gently put asunder

Walk with me in the sun, the rain, the roaring thunder

 

Tear down the walls

Tear them down

Down to the ground

We will burn the wood in a ceremonial pyre

As we bid farewell to the past and

sing hello to our desires
