Close your eyes and take my hand
We shall walk to promised land
where freedom lives and love supreme
and all emptiness but a dream...

I closed my eyes and walked in trust
memory of pain crumbling to dust
but being one who has known hurt
I opened my eyes to check the dirt
then faith clutched in painful spasm
for I found I walked above a chasm...

In panic I sought his eyes
Did I walk in truth or follow lies?
A quiet whisper... I heard my heart
when led by love there is no chart
with each step forward a choice is found
to walk on trust or solid ground.
