"As I Walk Along" lyrics
As I walk along
What has always been
The great mystery both without and within
I keep trying to forget myself
To rise above, you know I won't
Rock backwards and roll over like a stone
Give us hearts to understand and send the wind to teach my hands
Respect for all the things that you have made
Make my ears sharp enough to hear your voice
So that I never take more from creation than I gave
As I walk along
What has always been
The great mystery both without and within
I keep trying to forget myself
To rise above, you know I won't
Rock backwards and roll over like a stone
Teach me stillness as the grass is frozen in the morning light
Encourage like the tree that stands alone
Show me limitations like an ant crawls on the ground
And to let go of memories like they're melted snow
As I walk along
What has always been
The great mystery both without and within
I keep trying to forget myself
To rise above, you know I won't
Rock backwards and roll over like a stone
Oh, mother
Oh, mother
Heal my heart
So I can see
What of yours can live through me
As I walk along
What has always been
The great mystery both without and within
I keep trying to forget myself
To rise above, you know I won't
As I walk along
What has always been
The great mystery both without and within
I keep trying to forget myself
To rise above, you know I won't
Rock backwards and roll over like a stone
Rock backwards and roll over like a stone
Rock backwards and roll over like a stone
What has always been
The great mystery both without and within
I keep trying to forget myself
To rise above, you know I won't
Rock backwards and roll over like a stone
Give us hearts to understand and send the wind to teach my hands
Respect for all the things that you have made
Make my ears sharp enough to hear your voice
So that I never take more from creation than I gave
As I walk along
What has always been
The great mystery both without and within
I keep trying to forget myself
To rise above, you know I won't
Rock backwards and roll over like a stone
Teach me stillness as the grass is frozen in the morning light
Encourage like the tree that stands alone
Show me limitations like an ant crawls on the ground
And to let go of memories like they're melted snow
As I walk along
What has always been
The great mystery both without and within
I keep trying to forget myself
To rise above, you know I won't
Rock backwards and roll over like a stone
Oh, mother
Oh, mother
Heal my heart
So I can see
What of yours can live through me
As I walk along
What has always been
The great mystery both without and within
I keep trying to forget myself
To rise above, you know I won't
As I walk along
What has always been
The great mystery both without and within
I keep trying to forget myself
To rise above, you know I won't
Rock backwards and roll over like a stone
Rock backwards and roll over like a stone
Rock backwards and roll over like a stone
