When You Walk On
Eliza Gilkyson · Paradise Hotel [2005]
There's a long and winding river
From the darkness to the dawn
It will carry and deliver you
When you walk on
No one here can say for certain
What lies in the great beyond
You'll pass through that parted curtain
When you walk on
You may grasp at the illusion
The confusion of your mind
But soon you will remember
To surrender one more time
You may fade out the doorway
Fly away above the throng
Those who stay carry your story
A little glory lingers on
Though the world you leave behind you
Will become a distant song
Every soul you loved will find you
When you walk on
When you walk on
From the darkness to the dawn
It will carry and deliver you
When you walk on
No one here can say for certain
What lies in the great beyond
You'll pass through that parted curtain
When you walk on
You may grasp at the illusion
The confusion of your mind
But soon you will remember
To surrender one more time
You may fade out the doorway
Fly away above the throng
Those who stay carry your story
A little glory lingers on
Though the world you leave behind you
Will become a distant song
Every soul you loved will find you
When you walk on
When you walk on
