Karmic Steps by Motherjane
Karmic Steps lyrics
Swept by throngs swelling around me
Peopled with king and commoner
Reined in by the invisible yokes of reason
& the warm tyranny of the familiar
Opened my eyes again
To hear a man call my name
As I reached for him I found a prayer
Seems to me we walked on water
Now did I dream up the stranger?
I�m no longer sure I understand
The crossing deepens with every truth I discover
& I need a helping hand
I�ve stood outside the banks of heaven
Wondering if I�ll ever wanna belong
Too inured by what sometimes surrounded me
To reach for that which lay beyond
I�ve seen faith & action, shorn of each other
Watched whole armies pick either bow or arrow
I�ve mocked �warriors� like that, been one myself.
For thus, I was led... but I no longer follow
I hold the thought & walk off my pier
With hands outstretched to grasp the other
& I�m on feet that are yearning to rediscover
the feel of karmic steps carved on water
