lyrics

Walking Each Other Home (Dec 2018-Mar 2019)

Way back when we took our first steps and toppled to the ground
All those lessons learned from falling couldn’t keep us down
It was our mother’s hand that helped us to stand
Till finally we stood on our own

If we crawl or we fly, I want you by my side
As we find our way across this great unknown
With each step we take from the cradle to the grave
We are walking each other home

Those first steps we took together, we barely touched the ground
Did we understand the treasure that somehow we had found?
And each passing year has made it more clear
So simple and yet so profound

If we crawl or we fly, I want you by my side
As we find our way across this great unknown
With each step we take from the cradle to the grave
We are walking each other home

Take my hand, walk with me, through the fire, on this wire
Take my heart for eternity

As we live till we die, I want you by my side
As we find our way across this great unknown
With each step we take from the cradle to the grave
We are walking each other home
