Stones bathed in your blood.
Ground soaked by our humanity.
Cracks filled with webs
Of fear,
Of conflict,
Of surrender.
The walk begins.

You fall under the weight of the wood.
You rise and walk.
You fall under the weight of our falls.
You rise and walk.
You fall under the weight of rejection.
You rise and walk.

You rise and walk
For your love of us
For your compassion for us
For your faith in us.

You rise and walk.
