Larry Norman - Long Hard Road lyrics

You meet a lot of travelers on the road that winds through life Some hands hold the light of love, some hands conceal a knife Some friends stand behind you, some lie right to your face I don't have time for looking back, i've got to run this race Some receive salvation and they love you for your prayers Some resent the role you played and claim the work was theirs Some people like to put you down 'cause they know you won't fight back Some folks speak of love and peace but their heart is cold and black Down a long hard road, where i come from Down a long hard road i'm traveling on Down a long hard road and i keep going, going, going, going Down a long hard road, where i come from Down a long hard road that i've been on Down a long hard road and i keep going, going, going Some people never understand the road you're traveling on Some people hate you while you live, some love you when you're gone Forget about you're reputation, Satan's gonna shake it up Some people don't know truth from lies, so they just make it up All right now Down a long hard road, where i come from Down a long hard road i'm traveling on Down a long hard road and i keep going, going, going, going Down a long hard road, where i come from Down a long hard road that i've been on Down a long hard road, i just keep going, going, going, going It's great to feel that love for all those people that you know But if they change direction, wish them well and let them go You know it may be sad to lose so many friend along the way But the road i'm walking on, it gets more narrow every day Yeah Down a long hard road, where i come from Down a long hard road i'm traveling on Down a long hard road, i just keep going, going, going, going Down a long hard road, where i come from Down a long hard road that i've been on Down a long hard road, i just keep going, going, going, going Down a long hard road Down a long hard road Down a long hard road, i just keep going, going, going, going
