Flesh and Blood
Journey of the Heart: Embracing Life's Trials with Mary Black's 'Flesh and Blood'
Lyrics
If we leave here today
If we depart from this place today
We could be a thousand miles away
We have the potential to be a significant distance away
Take to that road, see how far it goes
Let's take a journey down that road and discover its extent
And on that great ocean road
Refers to a specific road (Great Ocean Road)
Oh the country's in our bones
The essence of our homeland is deeply ingrained within us
All the trouble that you know
All the difficulties you are familiar with
Empties out as you go
As you progress, these difficulties diminish or disappear
Oh walk with me, talk with me
Accompany me, converse with me
Tell me your stories
Share your experiences
I'll do my best to understand you
I'll earnestly attempt to comprehend your perspective
You're flesh and blood, flesh and blood
We are human, with emotions and vulnerabilities
Don't refuse me your love
Do not deny me your affection
More than words can express
Feelings that transcend verbal expression
More than wealth or success
More significant than material possessions or achievements
Oh there's a thousand things to do
Countless opportunities await
So let's start here with me and you
Let's initiate something meaningful together
All the pain that you feel
The anguish you experience
All the hurt that seems so real
The pain that seems very genuine
Oh come on, walk with me, talk with me
Come along, share with me, converse with me
Tell me your stories
Reveal your life's tales
I'll do my very best to understand you
I'll genuinely make an effort to comprehend you
You're flesh and blood
We are human beings
You can't go on holding back the flooding river
You cannot indefinitely suppress overwhelming emotions
Keeping all that fear inside
Holding onto fear internally
I understand how trouble haunts you
I comprehend the haunting nature of problems
It haunts me, too
They trouble me as well
Yes, and I do know how you feel
Acknowledging empathy for your emotions
Oh there's a thousand things to do
Abundance of opportunities lie ahead
So let's start here with me and you
Let's commence with us working together
Gonna take a little time
Require some time
Let's see what we can find
Let's explore what is within our reach
Oh come on, walk with me, talk with me
Come along, share with me, converse with me
Tell me your stories
Express your experiences
I'll do my best to understand you
I'll earnestly try to comprehend you
Oh won't you walk with me, talk with me
Won't you accompany me, share with me, converse with me
Tell me your stories
Share your life's tales
I'll do my very best to understand you
I'll genuinely strive to understand you
You're flesh and blood, flesh and blood
We are human, with emotions and vulnerabilities
You're flesh and blood
