Heavy Steps - Wilsen

Always been one to please

A sliver in the pile

Some take more than they bring

Like sinkholes in Centralia

Know your hand can’t be held

If you keep it in a fist

Sleep well to this

In the morning you’ll find

Heavy steps quiet

Worry turns to wonder

And you don’t have to be alone

Tugging at the stitches

Will untie the work you’ve done

Once a victim, twice a fool

I caught you looking back again

Well I hate to be away but you taught me to

Chase the wide world

You learn to love to live to barter

Love to learn to live to settle no longer

In the morning you’ll find

The heavy steps quiet

When worry turns to wonder

And you don’t have to be alone

You’re the best I know

And dwelling doesn’t suit you

Those days, they don’t define you —

Don’t give a damn what others throw

Or get stuck holding hands with what’s behind

‘Cause the heavy steps quiet

And you are not alone
