I knew from the start
It would be a hard road
What I didn't know
Is how you would lighten my load

I was walking alone
Tryin hard not to think
About the places I've been
And how low one can sink
When I looked up again
I saw you up ahead
Then I knew....
....That the road always knew
That to you I was led

You lightened my load
When you took a hold
Of my hand and I knew
All roads always led back to you

For such a long time
People just came and went
And every dime I've ever had
Was gone before it was spent
I didn't know who I was
I got to where I didn't care
But you lighten my load
And you took me somewhere

Now you are all that I need
Truly more than I deserve
You are the last straight stretch
When my whole lifes been a curve

And you lighten my load
Helping me to move on along
So when I'm feeling so weak
You keep me going strong
YES ..when I'm feelin so weak
You keep me goin on ....
....goin on strong.
