Lyrics
I have wandered through these canyons, felt the heat from red rock walls.
I have known my life's companion; I have watched my teardrops fall.
But Naomi, you have touched me; you have helped me make it through.
And if only you would let me, I'd like to go with you.
We have walked along this river, underneath an autumn moon.
You have asked me to consider that I'm leaving here too soon.
But Naomi, you have touched me; you have helped me make it through.
You have shown me that your people could be my people too.
Chorus
Where you lead me, I will follow
Where you lie down, that's where I'll stay
It's a long long road to tomorrow
It's been a long long road from yesterday
But Naomi, you have touched me; you have helped me make it through
You have shown me that your people could be my people too
Repeat Chorus
In the stillness I hear the echoes, of the gods my fathers knew
And I know they'll never let go, but it's clear what I must do
And Naomi, you have touched me; you have helped me make it through
And your people, they're my people, and I won't stay here without you
Repeat Chorus 2x
