Friendship's Door
Iona Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I take the road that leads me on
And gaze out over the land
Ground the colour of turf laden brown
And trees that sing in the wind
Clouds that chase but never catch
The sun that rainbows the air

These are the things
Some of the things
That take my breath away
These are the things
Some of the things
That take my breath away

My steps have led me to friendships door
Where faith and kindness embrace my soul
And children’s laughter sounds in the air
And fills my heart with joy




Their feet can dance the lightest steps
With smiles that grace the lovely day
