Walk Each Other Home
In December of 2022 our family lost our precious James to suicide. For several months I was unable to sing at all. Gradually my voice is returning and the music that has brought me answers to all my life questions is slowly returning. Performing is not comfortable yet, perhaps in time this may change. I do feel spririt nudging me to share the songs that have come in these past few months. Our family loss of one held dear is one which other families share. It is my hope that the music and lyrics may allow others to heal through such a loss.

We are here to walk each other home,
And I see that we can’t do this alone
Take the hand of those most dear
For to walk each other home is why we’re here.
(Chorus)
No one knows the journey of each lifetime,
and each day holds a promise we can grow
Life and death are circling ever near us.
There are questions that answers will not show.
(Chorus)
Our time upon the planet’s full of questions
And appears to be full on angst and war
We can only walk beside those near us
And walking’s how we learn what life is for.
(Chorus)
Searching through the past to find some reasons
Longing to make sense of all that’s come
Counting on the shortening of life’s seasons
To focus on hope and life and love.
(Chorus)
The earth is more than home, it is a passage
A precious way for souls to learn of love
Loving surely is the life worth living
Take a hand that Big Love can be done.
