My Theme Song

Walk On

And love is not the easy thing
The only baggage you can bring...
And love is not the easy thing...
The only baggage you can bring Is all that you can't leave behind

And if the darkness is to keep us apart
And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off
And if your glass heart should crack
And for a second you turn back
Oh no, be strong
Walk on, walk on

What you got, they can't steal it
No they can't even feel it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight...

You're packing a suitcase for a place none of us has been
A place that has to be believed to be seen

You could have flown away A singing bird in an open cage
Who will only fly, only fly for freedom
Walk on, walk on

What you got they can't deny it
Can't sell it or buy it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight

And I know it aches
And your heart it breaks
And you can only take so much
Walk on, walk on

Home...hard to know what it is if you never had one
Home...I can't say where it is but I know I'm going home
That's where the heart is

I know it aches
How your heart it breaks
And you can only take so much
Walk on, walk on

Leave it behind
You've got to leave it behind
All that you fashion
All that you make
All that you build
All that you break
All that you measure
All that you steal
All this you can leave behind
All that you reason
All that you sense
All that you speak
All you dress up
All that you scheme...

I was wondering why these lyrics were so trite, and then I saw they were written by that self-serving high priest of phony piety Bono.

Thanks for the commnent Stay-At-Home Indie-Pop

The lyrics become less trite when I sing them from my own experience.

Just like beauty is in the eye of the beholder... Lyrics get sanctified in the mouth of the Believer.

What is my "Walk on" moment? Read my story here and judge for yourself: http://www.branchpastor.com/2007/08/defining-providence.html

Oh... and when you meet Bono in Heaven you can ask him what his "Walk on" story is.
