Lyrics

Walking Through The Black
Words and Music By Danielle Howle


If I’ve got the whole wide world
Why’m I still sad
Hell’s a space between my ears
My eyes can’t push it back

Now I’ve done some wrong things
Some right ones too
It’s the worrying between them
While the sad distorts the truth

That keeps me walking in the black
Dark is light to that
If you’ve been does one come back

I felt me smiling
Tween what seems like cold
Could at least I find a poet’s words
To get my story told

Since I’m still feeling
Is this a sign
To help me to the healing
Gotta get God on my mind

That keeps me walking through the black
Dark is light compared to that
If you’ve been-tell me one comes back
Walking through the black

Hold me Mama
I’m learning the puzzle of peace
Oh I will feel it in time

What I want most
Is to be well
To thank all that’s heaven
But also thank the hell

I don’t know what I’ll learn now
Where I’ll be in a year
I’m packing potential
oh and freedom from my fear

That keeps me walking through the black
Dark is light to that
Have you been- are you back
Walking through the black

That keeps me walking through the black
Dark is light compared to that
Have you been- are you black
Oh walking through the black
Yes, walking through the black
