Don't need shoes to follow...

I am particularly touched by a specific line of the following song-poem "Don't need shoes to follow..." Do we really need all this mental chatter to follow a path with a heart?

Take me with you

in and out on this same path that I’ve followed for years
can’t I look around and ask how could we still end out up here?
i can’t just hold tight, wait for them to cut us to ribbons
if the sharpest thing where you come is a blade of grass
oh, take me with you
i don’t need shoes to follow
bare feet are running with you
somewhere a rainbow ends my dear

these injuries
don’t you think we need a new referee?
i can’t let the ball drop, boy I need some interference
to shut them up

oh, take me with you
i don’t need shoes to follow
bare feet are running with you
somewhere the rainbow ends my dear

Lyrics from "Take me with you" by Tori Amos
