We Will Walk

Jean-Paul VERNERET

18/6/1996

 

The coffee cools upon the piano’s side

Old memories pile where the shadows hide

I drew some doors along the hallway wall

To cheat the absence, and the mirror’s call

 

Bridge

And if the wind should turn, we’ll turn as well

Each storm we face will play a magic spell

No compass needed when our hearts will lead

The world is vast, and tomorrow we’ll heed

 

Chorus

We’ll walk on roads that no one’s ever known

The stars above will guide us through the lone

Each step will take us where we’ve never been

But all that matters is the path we’re in

 

I cast the anchors, left old lists behind

Regrets cling tight to dreams we’ve confined

My suitcase light, I’ve kept the things that stay

The past may drift, but my heart won’t betray

 

Bridge

And if the wind should turn, we’ll turn as well

Each storm we face will play a magic spell

No compass needed when our hearts will lead

The world is vast, and tomorrow we’ll heed

 

Chorus

We’ll walk on roads that no one’s ever known

The stars will guide us through the night alone

Each step will take us to the great unknown

The world is wide, yet we’ve made it our own

 

We’ll walk where none have ever dared to go

With stars to guide us through the night’s cold glow
