Lyrics

The days go by the night feels long I walk alone but I stay strong Each step I take I cant stand still I chase the voice I hear its will The streets are empty shadows near But hope still whispers soft and clear Though doubts arise and fear may grow A quiet light begins to show On the road I keep on moving Through the dark my heart is proving Not alone I walk this way Peace is closer every day The weight I carried starts to fade New strength is given step by step And though the path is winding still I know it leads where love is real Through the storm and through the night Im not lost there is a light Guided gently clear and true Every step is leading you On the road I keep on moving Through the dark my heart is proving Not alone I walk this way Peace is closer every day

About this song

Track 2 points both to Luke 24 (the Emmaus disciples on the way) and to the whole American road tradition: Jack Kerouac's "On the Road", Willie Nelson's "On the Road Again". The word "road" carries whole life philosophies.

Luke 24:13-15: "And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs ... And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Yeshua himself drew near, and went with them."

In the Greek original: autòs ho Iēsoûs engísas syneporeúeto autoîs (αὐτὸς ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐγγίσας συνεπορεύετο αὐτοῖς), "he himself, Yeshua, drawing near, went with them". Mike's track is musical application of this reality: on the road, Yeshua meets the son.

The Emmaus disciples did not recognize him right away. Only at the breaking of bread. Mike's point: the encounter does not necessarily happen in dramatic moments. It happens in the road segments, in conversations along the way, in plain stations, in unnoticed moments.

Practically: stay awake on your road. Yeshua walks with you. You may notice it only afterwards, like the Emmaus disciples who later said: "Did not our heart burn within us?" (Luke 24:32). Mike's sound carries this gentle companionship on the way.
