What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
A million footsteps, this left foot drags behind my right
2
But I keep walking, from daybreak â??til the falling night
3
And as days turn into weeks and years
4
And years turn into lifetimes
5
I just keep walking, like I've been walking for a thousand years
6
Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow,
7
Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow,
8
If you're walking to escape, to escape from your affliction
9
You'd be walking in a great circle, a circle of addiction
10
Did you ever wonder what you'd been carrying since the world was black?
11
You see yourself in a looking glass with a tombstone on your back
12
Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow,
13
Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow,
14
Walk away in anger, walk away in pain
15
Walk away from life itself, walk into the rain
16
All this wandering has led me to this place
17
Inside the well of my memory, sweet rain of forgiveness
18
I'm just hanging here in space
19
Now I'm suspended between my darkest fears and dearest hope
20
Yes I've been walking, now I'm hanging from a dead man's rope
21
With Hell below me, and Heaven in the sky above
22
I've been walking, I've been walking away from Jesus' love
23
Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow,
24
Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow,
25
Walk away in anger, walk away in pain
26
Walk away from life itself, walk into the rain
27
All this wandering has led me to this place
28
Inside the well of my memory, sweet rain of forgiveness
29
I'm just hanging here in space
30
The shadows fall
31
Around my bed
32
When the hand of an angel,
33
The hand of an angel is reaching down above my head
34
All this wandering has led me to this place
35
Inside the well of my memory, sweet rain of forgiveness
36
Now I'm walking in his grace
37
I'm walking in his footsteps
38
Walking in his footsteps,
39
Walking in his footsteps
40
All the days of my life I will walk with you
41
All the days of my life I will talk with you
42
All the days of my life I will share with you
43
All the days of my life I will bear with you
44
Walk away from emptiness, walk away from sorrow,
45
Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow,
46
Walk away from anger, walk away from pain
47
Walk away from anguish, walk into the rain.
