Walk You Home
I heard this song last night … loved it. I don’t know if any of you are watching The Cleaner on A&E, but it’s a pretty good show. This song debuted on there last night and it’s by a group named Karmina. Since it’s a new song I had to get the lyrics from listening to them … so I could be off a little.
I really like this and the picture it gives of friendship. Watching someone go through something tough is difficult … you want to be able to spare them the pain they’re going through. Unfortunately, we don’t get to do that … but we can walk them home so they’re not alone.
Slow down, what’s on your mind?
It’s alright, I’m on your side.
I hate to see your injury, I wish that you could transfer all your pain to me.
Stay here, it’s okay to cry.
Let me, help you make it right.
Let’s turn up the radio, let the band remind you that you’re not alone.
We all get low.
Even the brave, they depend on someone, the moon only shines with the help of the sun, it’s not as safe when you’re walking alone … I’ll walk you home.
The suns out, but it feels like rain.
So I will, illuminate your day.
I’m afraid I’m losing it, what’s it gonna take for me to get through this?
We’ll get through this.
Even the brave, they depend on someone, the moon only shines with the help of the sun, it’s not as safe when you’re walking alone … I’ll walk you home. I’ll walk you home.
You need the band to play the song.
Someones hand to keep you strong.
It’s harder when you’re on your own, success is not the same alone.
Can’t have up without the down.
Need the straight to have the round.
I’ll provide the harmony, your song is best accompanied.
Even the brave, they depend on someone, the moon only shines with the help of the sun, it’s not as safe when you’re walking alone … I’ll walk you home. I’ll walk you home. I’ll walk you home.
I had a friend that walked with me when I first decided that I needed to get some help. She was there with me … giving me just enough space so that I didn’t feel smothered … but staying close enough that I could reach her when I needed to.
I also had a friend walk me Home to Jesus. He walked with me to take communion for the first time after a long time away. He showed me that I was “allowed” to eat with Jesus, and that I could come Home. I would not have done that by myself.
I thank God for sending friends into our lives … for creating us to help one another … to lean on one another. We all need to depend on someone at some time. He knew that, so He told us to be a body … working together. We all need to know someone is on our side … for us … no matter what.
How ’bout you?
Amen sister!!!Friends like you….
RIGHT BACK AT YA!
Wow..good stuff there! There is so much power in having a friend that will stand with you…walk with you…lead you back.
I have a friend that did all of that. And he led me to a place where I found more friends that would do that. Now I want to be that kind of friend to as many people as I can, because I know how much it meant.
To do that, I have to step outside of myself and focus on what they need. What they need me to be…and to do. It is seldom easy to help some one that is really hurting. But the payoff is tremendous! God has worked some good good things through people that have allowed themselves to be “used” in this way.
Thanks for sharing these lyrics…I may just have to start watching that show on the outside chance I’ll hear this song!
IT’S SO IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT DOING WHAT THEY NEED. SO MANY TIMES I FIGURE OUT WHAT I’M WILLING TO OFFER AND THEN THEY CAN TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT.
I REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME I REALIZED THAT REALLY I SHOULD TREAT PEOPLE THE WAY THEY WANT TO BE TREATED RATHER THAN TREATING THEM THE WAY I WANT TO BE TREATED. HOW DOES IT HELP TO OFFER YOU WHAT I WANT IF IT’S NOT WHAT YOU NEED?
I’M NOT SURE IF THEY’LL PLAY IT AGAIN … BUT IT’S ON ITUNES.
Hmmm…I like this one Paige. You made me think of several times that I’ve been in one type of distress or another and the people that walked with me.
There was my youth minister in high school who walked beside me when my brother died. He stuck to me like glue and carried me when I couldn’t walk. I’m ever so greatful for that walk…it changed my life.
There was my best friend in AIM. We took actual walks, usually in the middle of the night, and shared our troubles, our lives, our hopes and dreams. Anytime I walk somewhere at night and feel afraid I think of him. He made me feel safe. I miss him.
Today I have this friend, I think you know him
), who is walking me back to God and walking next to me through my journey to find a safety. He walks with me, pushes me when I need a push, waits for me when I need to rest, and carries me when I think hope is gone. I thank God for him…and the affect he has on my life.
I think the ultimate walk is the one with God. Its not always easy…its not always comfortable….at least not for me….but its always right.
Thanks Paige.
“I think the ultimate walk is the one with God. Its not always easy…its not always comfortable….at least not for me….but its always right.” THAT IS THE BEST WALK … IT IS ALWAYS RIGHT … AND WE ARE NEVER ALONE. JUST LIKE THE YOUTH MINISTER … JUST LIKE THE FRIEND IN AIM … JUST LIKE THE FRIEND YOU HAVE NOW … JESUS WALKS WITH YOU AND CARRIES YOU WHEN YOU NEED CARRIED, PUSHES WHEN YOU NEED PUSHED … COMFORTS WHEN YOU NEED COMFORTED … HOLDS YOU CLOSE WHEN YOU NEED TO REST. THE DIFFERENCE WITH JESUS IS THAT HE WILL NOT COME AND GO LIKE THOSE OTHERS WHO CANNOT ALWAYS BE BY OUR SIDE … HE IS ETERNAL. OUR FRIENDS MAY MISUNDERSTAND … BE STRETCHED TOO THIN … HAVE THEIR OWN PROBLEMS TO DEAL WITH … BUT WITH JESUS THIS WILL NEVER BE SO. HE IS ALWAYS WITH US … WALKING US HOME.
IT COMFORTS ME TO KNOW THAT WHEN I AM NOT BEING THE FRIEND I NEED TO BE … JESUS IS STILL THERE. I HAVE HAD FRIENDS THAT LEANED ON ME AS IF I WAS THE ONE KEEPING THEM ALIVE … I FEARED THAT I WOULD LET THEM DOWN … SOMEHOW DROP THEM. BUT WITH JESUS HOLDING THEM … I KNEW THAT THEY WERE IN THE BEST HANDS.
Paige, I am so thankful for those people that God used to be His comfort to you. One of the things I love about you is that you are a safe friend. You are the kind of friend that will quietly walk beside those you care about, knowing the ugliness and hurt in their lives, and will not think twice about extending your grace. I have been blessed to experience that side of you. I know that anything I share with you would always be kept confident. Sometimes that is just what we need….someone to keep safe our darkest secrets. Thank you for being that for me, and for loving me in spite of it.
THANK YOU SARAH … I NEEDED TO READ THAT TODAY. SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE I’M TOO QUIET OF A FRIEND … NOT A PUSHY ENOUGH FRIEND. I FEEL LIKE I COME ACROSS APATHETIC WHEN I’M REALLY JUST TRYING NOT TO BE NOSY. WE HAVE DIFFERENT KINDS OF FRIENDS. SOME THAT REALLY PUSH US … AND SOME THAT ARE JUST A CONSTANT PRESENCE. I THINK I AM THE LATTER.
YOU HAVE BEEN THAT KIND OF FRIEND FOR ME SARAH. I KNOW YOU ARE THERE … I KNOW THAT YOU WANT THE BEST FOR ME AND THAT YOU LOVE ME JUST HOW I AM TODAY WITH ALL THE UGLINESS THAT SOME MAY NOT SEE. I’VE SAID IT MANY TIMES … BUT CANNOT SAY IT ENOUGH … I’M GLAD WE RAN INTO EACH OTHER AGAIN. (THINK GOD HAD ANY PLANS THERE?)
I really appreciate the song lyrics…such good thoughts make us think…make me think of Jesus…make me want to be like Him.
I am repeatedly amazed that God has put so many tremendous friends in my life.
I’ve noticed…been on the receiving end…of some “friendships” that weren’t good in the long run.
The kind of friendship that God brings to us or leads us toward, doesn’t make us dependent, but independent (in a good way). It doesn’t force us to “prove” our friendship by jumping through all kinds of hoops of expectations. It doesn’t shut us in, but opens us up. It isn’t exclusive, but inclusive. It doesn’t limit our efforts but widens them. It doesn’t lead us away from Christlikeness but towards it.
I have known a great friend from my teenage years. His name is Mike Grose. He is a Gospel preacher. He has the qualities I admire…self-discipline, integrity, loyalty. He is one of the finest family men, I have ever known. I know that if I needed anything that he was able to provide, he would do it, without hesitation. I have found through these many years, that his influence upon me has made me better than I would have been otherwise. His presence in my mind and heart helps me, even when long months of absence from each other go by. Part of the reason why I wish to be better…to be stronger…truer…holier is my friend Mike. If he were to ever hear something of me, I want it to be encouraging to him and not discouraging. Because his life has never been anything but encouragement to me. He has been iron to me…to help sharpen my dull nature.
God bless you, Paige. Good…good song!
I LIKE THE DESCRIPTION YOU GAVE OF FRIENDS THAT GOD GIVES US (I PUT THAT PART IN BOLD). YOU SAID IT SO WELL. A GOOD, GODLY FRIENDSHIP IS AMAZING. IT SEEMS THE MORE YOU GIVE THE MORE YOU ARE FILLED. WHEREAS WITH UNHEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS … THE MORE YOU GIVE THE MORE DRAINED AND EMPTY YOU BECOME.
I THINK THOSE GOOD FRIENDSHIPS TEACH US BETTER HOW TO RELATE TO GOD. WE LEARN TO REALLY PUT SOMEONE ELSE’S INTEREST AHEAD OF OUR OWN. IT’S EASY TO DO WITH THESE FRIENDS BECAUSE THEY ARE LOOKING OUT FOR OUR INTERESTS … SO WE EACH END UP BEING FILLED. FROM MY FRIENDSHIPS LIKE THIS I’VE LEARNED HOW TO LOVE WITHOUT CONTROLLING. I’VE LEARNED TO CARE THAT THE PERSON IS TAKEN CARE OF … BY WHOMEVER IS ABLE TO DO IT. I JUST WANT THEM TO BE OKAY.
I’M GLAD YOU HAVE SOMEONE THAT SHARPENS YOU. MAY GOD BLESS YOU WITH MORE AND MORE RELATIONSHIPS LIKE THAT ONE. I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE BLESSED US ALL BY GIVING US THESE SMALL GLIMPSES INTO YOUR HEART.
I am sssoo happy to see that someone else found this song just so beautiful and touching! I read through your page and I see that you are just an absolutely positive person, and I would like to commend you for spreding such awesome grace.
I always watch that show, it touches me close to my heart because not only do I have a very close friend in a situation like that, but I too have battled myself. The show has opened my eyes to seeing how such a battle affects others, and it has changed my life.
I will continue to follow your page, and hopefully I can soon purchase this song somewhere…I couldn’t even find the lyrics! Thanks to you I was able to look them up-they’re beautiful and tremendously talented!! Yay!
I WAS ABLE TO BUY THE SONG ON ITUNES. I REALLY LIKE THE SONG … AND THE SHOW. AS SOON AS I HEARD IT I WENT SEARCHING FOR IT ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT THAT WAS THE FIRST NIGHT IT WAS RELEASED. IT’S GOT A GOOD MESSAGE AND A GOOD SOUND.
I’M REALLY GLAD YOU FOUND ME AND HOPE YOU COME BACK TO VISIT OFTEN. I HAVE BEEN IN RECOVERY FOR OVER 10 YEARS AND THE CLEANER HAS BEEN AN INTERESTING SHOW TO WATCH. IT’S HARD TO SEE THE DESTRUCTION THAT IS CAUSED BY ADDICTION … BUT WHEN GOD IS INVITED TO THE BATTLE … HE WINS AND THE ENDING CHANGES ENTIRELY.
