Lyrics:
When I’m walking, I’m me
But also you. I’m all you, too
I take it. I carry. You help me see
I’m here and there. It’s where I want to be

All I know is
I need to follow the path that feels most true
All I know is that I need to follow the path that you lead me to
And take you with me (I take you with me)

They say Brown, also Black
These words don’t help to get me back
They take it, they destroy
Then they take pains
With the Names
Empty words telling us what we lack

All I know is
I need to follow the path that feels most true
All I know is that I need to follow the path that you lead me to
And take you with me (I take you with me)
