A Walk In The Park ©1995 Jon T. Howard

Underneath the bright blue sky
Taking the day a step at a time going nowhere
On the bridge I stop and wonder why
While the world below me races by going somewhere
With the sunshine on my face
I've got the healing strength of faith walking with me
Down by the rivers edge reliving every word we said my heart it bleeds

They say you can't heal without letting go
When all else fails with my dog in tow
I take a walk in the park
I take a walk in the park

Sitting under a walnut tree
I smile at a lady who smiles at me and it feels good
And for a moment I forget how crazy this world really is
And man it feels so good

They say you can't heal without letting go
When all else fails with my dog in tow
I take a walk in the park almost religiously
And see that homeless man named Steve
Who looks at me with his wayward eyes
And the same thing always blows my mind
He could be Jesus so I
Give him all I can and make my way home

Somewhere in this solitude I find some hope for me and you
I know we ll make it through somehow we always do
Thinking of my friends past and present trying to move beyond regrets
Love has a way to make amends
Will I have enough to even pay my rent

They say you can't heal without letting go
When all else fails with my dog in tow
I take a walk in the park
I take a walk in the park
I take a walk in the park
I take a walk in the park

I take a walk in the park and see my friend named Steve
We just sit and shoot the breeze
We talk about nothing... yeah
