Analysis of I Have Walked On City Streets
I have walked on fiery coal. I have walked on rails.
I have walked on city streets.
I have walked on nails.
I have walked on glacial ice. I have walked on bards.
I have walked on city streets.
I have walked on shards.
I have walked on coral reef. I have walked on quills.
I have walked on city streets.
I have walked on shells.
I have walked on molten rock. I have walked on lones.
I have walked on city streets.
I have walked on stones.
I have walked on fragile faith. I have walked on slopes.
I have walked on city streets.
I have walked on hopes.
