miracle walking

down the roads of learning 
up and through the burning 
she rides the waves of yearning 
to the shore

and opening the distance 
of all those years of silence 
she breaks the walls of anguish 
through the door 

chorus:

and you can see her now 
she's flying 
and you can see her now 
she's soaring 
and you can see her now 
she's a miracle walking 

all those years of teachings 
pressed down without unleashing 
the brilliance of who 
she was – was really gone 

the god outside and up above 
was too ephemeral for love 
and she dove into the shadows 
of it all 


chorus

religions and traditions 
rituals and conditions 
each became an excuse 
for who she was 

then she... 
burst open and flew wide 
and came to know 
her radiant side 
stepped out of all she knew 
and came to love 
what she could do...
