Nobody Ever

I have walked alone
Through fields of knowing green
Under skies of harmless blue

Four footsteps retracing my old
Those belonging to me
Those belonging to you

Am I the first to stand in these waters?
The first to be thrown
A washed upon this battered shore

Am I so barefoot and vunerable
To say 'I am the way I am'
'For nobody loved me like this before'...
