Hand on My Back |
I move through the world like an arrow that flies |
Slicing the air as I’m mapping the skies |
And way deep down the echoes remain |
Memories sounding like rattling chains |
But lately I think I am coming around |
I’m liking the feel of my feet on the ground |
And last night I stopped dead in these tracks |
Recalling your hand on the small of my back |
The slightest brush but as powerful too |
As an electrical storm that’s moving on through |
Then is gone as fast as it came, leaving nothing, |
Not even the rain |
When I was younger how I took my time |
Folly and wisdom form points on a line |
From one to another with space in between |
For the lessons you learn &the dreams that you dream |
But tell me what happens when dreams don’t come true |
How you overcome some things until they overtake you |
Why you never got chosen, why you never felt claimed |
By some passion or person that is never explained |
I come on quiet but I’m fierce as a lion |
Life will take us apart but we never stop trying |
To proceed as if whole and intact |
Like I felt with your hand on my back |
Nothing can catch me when I’m moving fast |
Even those rattling chains of the past |
So I’ll go like that arrow but with nowhere to land |
I am losing velocity, height and command |
We all hit the ground, we all fall from the sky |
We burn up, we break up, we wreck and we cry |
But we’re bound up together by sight and by pact |
That begins with the touch of your hand on my back |
