This Canyon Will Shrink
Billboard posted
A mile a minute
No more jobs for hire
All that is wanted
Has a lack of what is needed
A space that's too wide to cross
Keep walking, talking, side by side
On opposite sides of the canyon
Distance will one day become mere feet
That is when you will understand love and life
Without defeat.
Keep walking, talking, side-by-side
I am always here to listen
I cannot stop you from falling down
But I can see ahead and tell you when to take it slow
This Canyon is only temporary
The one thing in the way
So far down is the world below
Surely to die, you don't feel safe having to try
But like I said, the distance shrinks
Turning miles into only mere feet
Close enough to step across one day
This distance seems so worth it in the end
How I look at you is this
How I see our lives is this
How I pray to God is this
How I know that all will be fine is this
Faith in the road ahead comes hard
But you know that this distance has to someday end
No more foolish games to make you fall
No more strong wind gusts from playing pretend
How I live is this
How you live is this
How I walk by you every step of the way, is this
So when you look ahead and you do not see me,
Just look over to your right
The gifts I gave, the love I spoke
Never a joke, more of a token and a helping hand
I am not as far ahead as you once thought
I am always walking these canyon walls
Right next to you
