These shoes have walked some strange streets
   stranger still to come --
   sometimes the prayers of strangers
   are all that keeps them from
   trying to stay static,
   something even death can't do
   everything is motion --
   to the motion be true
  
   In this cold commodity culture
   where you lay your money down
   it's hard to even notice
   that all this earth is hallowed ground --
   harder still to feel it,
   basic as a breath --
   love is stronger than darkness
   love is stronger than death
  
   The gift
   keeps moving --
   never know
   where it's going to land.
   You must stand
   back and let it
   keep on changing hands
  
   Hackles rise in anger,
   heat waves rise in sex.
   The gift moves on regardless
   tying this world to the next.
   May you never tire of waiting,
   never feel that life is cheap.
   May your life be filled with light
   except for when you're trying to sleep.
  
   The gift
   keeps moving --
   never know
   where it's going to land
   you must stand
   back and let it
   keep on changing hands.
