Untrace Your Steps


Untrace your steps
Set down the heavy load
Leave it here, with me now
And I will unwind
The truth to you

Under the lampost, in the shade of the church
Lika a Madonna lost in a dark room
A halo of light falling on your thoughts
Listened to by the quiet stone steps
And echoing in your silent prayer vigil

Do not follow those old ghosts
That keep their cold grip
A mist rising to haunt you
Untrace your steps
Into the new day

Across a crowd, a face you recognised once
Like a mirage burning into the heat of the day
Lost in a maze of bright connections
The call that beats a drum in your blood
Freedom running through the veins

Untrace your steps
And steer a new course
Under the bright star of hope
And you will find
Your heart already knows the way
