Song lyrics
Walking
Stumbling on these shadow feet
Toward home
A land that I've never seen
I am changing
Less and less asleep
Made of different stuff than when I began
And I have sensed it all along
Fast approaching is the day

When the world has fallen out from under me I'll be found in you
Still standing
When the sky rolls up and mountains fall on their knees
When time and space are through I'll be found in you

There's distraction buzzing in my head
Saying in the shadow it's easier to stay
I've heard rumours of true reality
Whispers of a well lit way

When the world has fallen out from under me I'll be found in you
Still standing
When the sky rolls up and mountains fall on their knees
When time and space are through I'll be found in you

You make all things new
You make all things new
You make all things new
You make all things
You make all things

When the world has fallen out from under me I'll be found in you
Still standing
When the sky rolls up and mountains fall on their knees
When time and space are through I'll be found in you

When the world has fallen out from under me I'll be found in you
Still standing
Every fear and accusation under my feet
When time and space are through I'll be found in you
When time and space are through I'll be found in you
When time and space are through I'll be found in you

Brooke Fraser has been influenced greatly by the writings of C.S. Lewis (obviously). This song is about his book 'The Great Divorce' (definitely worth a look. It's short and easy to read). Lewis paints the picture of Heaven and Hell and the afterlife. When everyone dies (in the story) they board a bus and enter into these green plains where everything is so real, and they are but mere shadows. Every blade of grass hurts their feet as if they were stepping on daggers, as Lewis states in the book, "Reality is harsh on the feet of shadows." But the closer they move towards the Mountains (Heaven), the less shadowy they become, and the more real they get. Not everybody is moving towards the Mountains though. Some can't take the journey and decide to go to the Ghost Town (Hell) because they cannot see what's beyond the Mountain gates, all they hear are rumors that it's a better place than the plains, but others are trying to convince them to go to the Ghost Town. That's what Brooke is talking about when she says "There's distraction buzzing in my head, saying in the Shadows it's easier to stay."

Great book. Great song. She is an inspiration.
