Walking Each Other Home

He stepped out into the ocean the storm chased him all the way home A piece of centrifugal motion and he found himself stranded alone He didn't know how deep the waters don't show the secrets they keep Under the waves under the foam Then from the dark there came a hand not like his but they were the same Bringing him safe from the unknown He said tell me your name you don't look like me but we are the same And the stranger just smiled and said don't you know We're all here and we're walking each other home She ended her shift at a diner headed out to find her way home The voices were always behind her even though she was walking alone Nobody knows how deep the sorrows don't show the secrets they keep Under her skin under her smile Then from the dark there came a hand not like hers but they were the same Bringing her safe from the unknown She said please tell me your name you don't look like me but I think we're the same And the stranger just smiled and said don't you know We're all here and we're walking other home The rains may come and the rivers may rise And the darkness moans in the middle of night But there is a light Yes love is a light A little boy sits at his window waiting for morning to come His momma went out 3 days ago and he finds himself crying alone He shouldn't know how deep the hunger and shame and the secrets they keep Under the guns under his feet And then from the dark there came a hand not like his but they were the same Bringing him safe from the unknown He said what's your name you don't look like me but I think we're the same And the stranger just smiled and said don't you know We're all here and we're walking each other home Yes we're here just walking each other home
