Losing a loved one is difficult, but it can be comforting to remember they live on in the hearts of the people who knew them. Walk With Me details the experience of having a dream about a loved one who has passed. One does not want to wake up and face the world without them, but it is a comfort to know one can always come back in a dream.
My song is dedicated to Delicia Raveenthrarajan, a dear friend of the SPO, and a dear friend of mine. She is always in our hearts.
Walk With Me: Words and Music by Shreya Jha
Walk with me a while
Meet me on the softened ground
Where our footsteps make not a sound
Walk with me a moment
Cast your eyes to the sky
Peaking through the trees, the beginnings of a sunset
For you and I
Walk with me a while
Until it’s time to go
Face once more what I already know
That every day the time that you’ve left this world keeps growing
And as I leave this dream and say goodbye the sun is glowing
In orange and purple and pink with love
A painting so fleeting that lingers above
Bright in all its beauty
And stark in all its truth
In what is real
Soon I’ll remember how to feel
In all its depths
To remember how to take the deepest breath
And then to breathe it out
Walking through this life
Carrying the hope that you left behind
It floats all around
In all your little signs
But if ever I should miss you too much
Meet me on the softened ground
Where our footsteps make not a sound
And walk with me a while
Cast your eyes to the sky
Peaking through the trees the beginnings of a sunset
For you and I.
