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)
