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
