Travelers

When the world is strange
And full of terror
I will lead you back
To the trail again

We are not alone
Not the only travelers
Wandering these woods
With sticks and stones

Shattered teeth won’t
Shake chattering bones
I will take you home
Through the great unknown

I don’t know what to do
But stay on this road with you
Hold your hand, understand
There’s a grander plan

We are haunted
By memories of just a few
Time will not take us back
Somewhere we never knew

We cannot outrun the sun
Hide from hate, spite everyone
Outlast the race, abandon
This drowning place

We may be hunted
But you and I can be brave
We will find, trust in the way
Make our joy, play for peace
Swim in the swelling sea

When the night is dark
And full of voices
I will shield your ears
Still your fears
Sing you back to sleep

What the hell am I supposed to do
But keep on holding you
Ease your tears, persevere
Pray you never leave

What the hell am I supposed to do
But keep on loving you
Hope for hope, touch the light
God give me enough mind
Show the good, teach for life
God give me enough time
