Love is not the easy thing
The only baggage you can bring
Is all that you can't leave behind
Love is not the easy thing
The only baggage you can bring
Is all that you can't leave behind
And if the darkness is to keep us apart
And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off
And if your glass heart should crack
And for a second you turn back
Oh no be strong
Walk on, walk on
What you got they can't steal it
No they can't even feel it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight
You're packing a suitcase for a place none of us has been
A place that has to be believed to be seen
You could have flown away
A singing bird in an open cage
Who will only fly for freedom
Walk on, walk on
What you got they can't deny it
No they can't even try it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight
And I know it aches
And your heart it breaks
You only take so much
Walk on, walk on
Home...hard to know what it is if you never had one
Home...I can't say where it is but I know I'm going
Home...that's where the heart is
Walk on, walk on
All that you fashion
All that you make
All that you build
All that you can break
All that you measure
All that you steal
All this you can leave it all behind
All that you reason
All you can sense
All that you speak
All you dress up
All that you scheme
All that you fashion
You can leave it all behind
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
"Walk On" by Darlene Zschech is a deeply moving and inspiring song that speaks to the resilience and strength we find in love. The lyrics remind us that love is not always easy, but it is something worth fighting for, even in the face of darkness and challenges.
As I listen to the song, I can't help but be reminded of the verse in 1 Corinthians 13:7 that says, "Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." It is through this kind of love that we are able to walk on, no matter what obstacles come our way. Love is the only baggage we can bring with us on this journey of life, and it is what sustains us when everything else seems to be falling apart.
In the song, Darlene Zschech sings, "And if the darkness is to keep us apart, and if the daylight feels like it's a long way off." These lines resonate with anyone who has experienced times of hardship and felt like there was no end in sight. But despite the darkness, the lyrics encourage us to be strong and to keep walking on. It reminds me of the verse in Psalm 23:4 that says, "Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me." We may face trials and tribulations, but we can find comfort in knowing that God is with us every step of the way.
The song also speaks to the idea of finding a home, a place where our hearts can find rest. In the lyrics, Zschech sings, "Home...hard to know what it is if you never had one, Home...I can't say where it is but I know I'm going, Home...that's where the heart is." These lines remind me of the verse in John 14:2-3 where Jesus says, "In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am." Our true home is not found in this world, but in the presence of God. It is this hope of an eternal home that gives us the strength to keep walking on, no matter how difficult the journey may be.
The overall message of "Walk On" is one of hope, resilience, and perseverance. It reminds us that love is worth fighting for, and that we have the strength to overcome any obstacles that come our way. As we walk through life, we can find comfort and guidance in the Scriptures, which remind us of God's faithfulness and love. The song encourages us to keep walking on, staying safe in the arms of God, and trusting in His plan for our lives.
In conclusion, "Walk On" by Darlene Zschech is a powerful song that speaks to the strength and resilience we find in love. It reminds us to keep walking on, no matter what challenges we may face, and to find comfort and hope in the presence of God. The lyrics of the song, along with the Scriptures, inspire us to persevere and trust in God's plan for our lives.
