There is a road that you must walk in this life
There are many who fall by the way
I have seen the dark side of night
Now I'm lookin' at the light of a brand new day
(chorus)
Like an eagle soaring toward the sun
Like a ship put out to sea
By and by my soul will fly
On the wings of my victory
I've been down in the depths of the mire
Been sorely tempted and I've given in
I've been burned by the heat of the fire
A many time loser who's about to win
(repeat chorus)
Many times I have walked all alone
Seen good ones die young and bad ones go right on
Seen faces turn away and hearts turn to stone
Now I've found a rock that I can lean on
(repeat chorus)
