The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
Some say we walk alone Barefoot on wicked stone, no light And sanctuary found never waits around awhile Marching to the sea Their dreams stay in the shadows Their dreams stay firmly rooted in the shallows See the scraping sky See my destination there tonight So say I walk alone, barefoot On wicked stone tonight Will you leap to follow Will you turn and go Will your dreams stay rooted in the shallows See the scraping sky Far beyond the shallows Far beyond the reaches of the shadows Though youth may fade with boyhood's cares New fear will catch us unawares I know it will So you might say The path we share is one of danger And of fear Until the end
