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
