Walk the Path

from World Awake by Diane Patterson

/

lyrics

I walk the path of faith and trust, ever on
By night and day, come what may
By and flow, by friend or foe
This much I know
Deep seeds I sow
I walk the path of faith and trust, see beauty in all
By compassion's eye, by beginner's mind
By simplicity, by divinity, by all I grow,
Certainty I sow

We are born, we birth/rebirth

I've got skinned up knees from all my leaps of faith
Sometimes I feel like I'm running a race.
I'm holding the vision and seeking direction
I don't have all the answers, so I pause, I pause for reflection
Everything's changing, it's always rearranging
Like earth moves through seasons and fruit trees drop leaves
I'm like spider, I'm catching love in the webs that I weave
I'm spinning and weaving, hiding and shining
I'm loving and learning, my bold feathers flying
There's a bridge I cross on as I let go of safety,
Come back to my core, and just sit inside me.

Slowly I've learned that it's just about sharing,
My voice, my art, my ideas, my real caring
To own my own gifts, to nurture and grow them
To fearlessly share them, to sing them, bestow them
It's not about perfection, or winning a race
It's just to be me, with some style and grace
To risk it all, and yet, risk nothing
Birth myself into being

Walk the path
