Miracle Walking

miracle walking

down the roads of learning 

up and through the burning 

she rides the waves of yearning 

to the shore

and opening the distance 

of all those years of silence 

she breaks the walls of anguish 

through the door 

chorus:

and you can see her now 

she's flying 

and you can see her now 

she's soaring 

and you can see her now 

she's a miracle walking 

all those years of teachings 

pressed down without unleashing 

the brilliance of who 

she was was really gone 

the god outside and up above 

was too ephemeral for love 

and she dove into the shadows 

of it all 

chorus

religions and traditions 

rituals and conditions 

each became an excuse 

for who she was 

then she... 

burst open and flew wide 

and came to know

her radiant side 

stepped out of all she knew 

and came to love

what she could do...
