I Have Walked On Fragile Faith



I Have Walked On Fragile Faith

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 nards
I have walked on city streets
I have walked on shards

I have walked on quagmire bog
I have walked on dumps
I have walked on city streets
I have walked on sumps

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 bones
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
