The first one on my own
And turned my tired, weary tread
In a direction I knew for home
You walked along next to me
And ran through the blinding dark
Your footfalls thudding on the ground
Counterpoint to my heart
You fell to floor beside me
And lent to me your wisdom
Passed on to me the strength I needed
To battle for my freedom
Where were you when I finally saw me
When the darkness finally receded
You were the whisper in my mind
The one I rarely heeded
Where were you? You were with me
For you and I are one and the same
I’d just lost sight of myself
Until that cleansing earthen rain
