I Am Going On A Journey
Won't you come along?
I need someone to help me.
A person big and strong.
I'm walking on my journey
But my feet are very small.
Can you stand beside me,
And catch me if I fall?
At times when I can't keep up
With life and all its fears,
Can you put me on your shoulders
And wipe away the tears?
When the steps I take are not big enough
And it's hard for me to grow
I know I can depend on you
To let me take it slow.
I'm going on a journey,
Please, won't you walk with me?
I need someone who understands
The place where I should be.
I promise when the road is tough
And you want to turn back home.
I will hold your hand real tight,
So you won't feel so alone.
I'm going on a journey
I don't know where it ends,
But if we walk together,
We can always be best friends.
And when the journey's over
And we find where we should be.
I know that you will be so glad,
You took this path with me.
I'm going on a journey,
Please, won't you come along?
I need someone to guide me
A parent—big & strong.
Written by Sally Meyer
That would make a good folk
That would make a good folk song.
Perhaps by Jewell?
Perhaps by Jewell?
Don't tell me...is Sally a
Don't tell me...is Sally a songwriter for Jewell?
I think Jewell writes most
I think Jewell writes most of her own, but maybe she does ake ideas from poets like Sally. I just found the poem online and it really moved me thinking how Michael only had me to help him along, so I thought I would share it.
