On my way to you



I walk through a park of knowledge
I swim through the roughest mane
I talk to a million voices
I stare through each window pane
I climb tumultuous choices
I carry my heaviest loads
I steal such awkward glances
To find romance within your walls
I pace in boxes I cannot open
Scratch within each dying egg
I face a tower of fires
I blend each and every league
I twist my ankle in dangerous places
I dig tunnels that walls can't bare
I leave without you following
I took your son to save him here
When your soul seemed no longer there
I rose in our forgiveness
And found you again on a prayer
