If I Wanna Walk

(album: Walk - 1996)

Listen to me, Jesus
'Cause I know you'll understand
I've been right back down
With the weight of the world on my mind

I'm trying hard to salvage joy
In spite of circumstance
But I can't quite seem to let faith
Have the wheel this time

But if I wanna walk on water
Then I've gotta get outta the boat
And if I'm gonna move this mountain
I've gotta start with a little more hope
If I'm gonna take a leap of faith
Then I'd better not expect to fall
'Cause I know I've gotta stand
If I wanna walk

Listen to the birds sing
Do they ever sound alone?
Do they spread their wings
And yet question their strength to fly?
I'm trying hard to trust You
Lord, but it's safer said than done
So won't You feather my faith
With a love for the open sky?
