shallow water

if we cross in shallow water 
waist deep in murkiness 
if we can deny the demons 
and smother the pain 
we can make it to the other side
if we can keep our sights 
on the trail ahead 
leave the past behind,
keep the wind at our back 
lay some stones for the future 
ahead, the river gets too wide 
the bridge we build is right here 
if we wait, 
we may not reach the other side 
fears haunting the night
disappear with dawn 
the winds of change blow 
lightning and thunder 
clear the way for cleansing 
with the rain that falls 
take my hand 
let me hold yours
shall we cross together? 
shall we build a bridge for all time? 
shall we look ahead together?
help me lay the foundation 
take my hand
