about

This song was written after a stay in the fall of 2001 at a retreat center founded by Thich Nhat Hanh in south of France, Plum Village -- where walking is one of the very many forms of accessible and transformative mediations practiced. For more information about it, see: plumvillage.org

lyrics

"Walk With Me"

And though there’s fire in the tower
And though there’s terror of sudden death
Come with me my darlin’ Johnny,
Walk with me and take a breath.

Walk with me and take a breather
From all the anguish and the fear.
Walk with me my darlin’ Johnny
In that Presence that’s always near.

And we’ll take one step for the lost.
And we’ll take one step for the found.
And we’ll take one step after another
Placing our feet clearly, softly on this ground.

And we will make of all we meet
Make of each woman, man and child,
Make of each a friend and neighbor,
Sharing the simple gift of a smile.

And we shall not need to be the fastest
And we shall not need to push and shove.
We will need only to share our hearts here,now,
In this Presence of heart felt love.


And though there’s fire in the mountains
And in the valley, shadows of death,
Come with me, my beloved Ali,
Walk with me and take a breath.

Walk with me and take a breather
From all the anguish and the fear.
Walk with me beloved Ali
In that Presence that’s always near.
