Lyrics

Climbing up the mountain on my uncle's chestnut mare
When the rockslide blocked the road, I was worried for the load But she didn't miss a hoofbeat and she brought us safely round We were sheltered from the storm, she was keeping us from harm
As I walked the stubbled hayfield at the darkening of dusk The cottonmouth lay low, we were just away a row
When the rabbit ran around us and became his supper fare I ran faster than the light as she held my hand so tight
Guiding spirit, treading softly, light my pathway, bring me round Hover gently, hear us clearly, simply pleading, “Make us found”
Wandering the city, I passed an open door
When they called me in to stay, I was almost on the way
Still the warmth and sweet surrender weren’t hold enough
I was pushed to move along, keep on searching for the song
Guiding spirit, treading softly, light my pathway, bring me round Hover gently, hear us clearly, simply pleading, “Make us found”
Even now I walk and smell the fragrance of the woods
Though it's city streets I roam still I'm heading for my home
I hear it in the darkness 'neath the silence on the stair
The blue ridge mountains call through these worn and broken walls
Guiding spirit, treading softly, light my pathway, bring me round Hover gently, hear us clearly, simply pleading, “Make us found” Simply pleading, “Make us found”
Simply pleading, “Make us found”
