TRAVELIN' DOWN
A LONELY HIGHWAY
I KNEW NOT WHERE
THE ROAD WOULD END
NOT A PENNY
IN MY POCKET
ALL ALONE
WITHOUT A FRIEND
IN A LITTLE
COUNTRY VILLAGE
I MET A MAN
AND HE WAS BLIND
AS I HELPED HIM
CROSS THE HIGHWAY
OH LORD I CRIED
HIS BURDENS
ARE GREATER THAN MINE
I CAN SEE
THE LIGHT OF DAY
I NEED NOT FEEL MY WAY
YES THY BURDENS
ARE GREATER
THAN MINE
MET A LAD
WHILE ON MY TRAVELS
TRYIN' HARD
TO PLAY THE GAME
THOUGH HIS LEG
WAS VERY CRIPPLED
AND HE COULD NOT
SPEAK HIS NAME
YET HE SMILED
IN UNDERSTANDIN'
THOUGH LIFE TO HIM
HAD BEEN UNKIND
AND AS I WATCHED
I CRIED IN SORROW
OH LORD I SEE
HIS BURDENS
ARE GREATER THAN MINE
I CAN SPEAK
MY NAME ALOUD
MAKE MY WAY
AMONG THE CROWD
YES HIS BURDENS
ARE GREATER THAN MINE
JUST BY CHANCE
I PASSED A GRAVEYARD
I SAW A YOUNG MAN
KNEELIN' THERE
IN HIS HANDS
THERE WERE
SOME ROSES
ON HIS LIPS
THERE WAS A PRAYER
ON A STONE
THESE WORDS
WERE WRITTEN
YOUR SOUL IS GOD'S
YOUR MEMORY MINE
AND AS I WATCHED
I CRIED IN SORROW
OH LORD
I SEE HIS BURDENS
ARE GREATER THAN MINE
