lyrics

She paints a portrait of my spirit with that look
She's a mirror shining love to me no matter what I put
Into the space she makes for sighs too deep to voice
And she cradles all the shy shortcomings, dear as her own joys

And a light peeks through an open door
Where there'd only been a wall before
But the wall came tumbling down once I believed she knew my name

She walks in my shoes

She asks so sincere and I am free to speak
Where it's safe to welcome everything I am and don't want to be
The map of difference makers can't be writ on skill
'Cause the doing is in knowing and in being still

Well, courage takes your heart in full
Then it fills you back to overflow
And the light pours out in glassy prisms coloring your pain

She walks in my shoes

Day by day I'm finding my way through this land
And my heart produces sweeter fruit than my mind dared plant

She walks in my shoes

becoming home
by Monica Laytham

This folkie-gospel-soul record was made in my home studio! Monica's got a way with words. Well, that and melodies. Oh, and harmonies too. Seriously, just stop reading this and go listen already. Laura Wallace
