Traveling Light

Joel Hanson & Sara Groves

　　Well I was doubling over the load on my shoulders 
　　Was a weight I carried with me everyday 
　　Crossing miles of frustrations and rivers a raging 
　　Picking up stones I found along the way 
　　I staggered and I stumbled down 
　　Pathways of trouble 
　　I was hauling those souvenirs of misery 
　　And with each step taken my back was breaking 
　　'Til I found the One who took it all from me 
　　 
　　Down by the riverside 
　　(Down by the riverside) 
　　I laid my burdens down, 
　　Now I'm traveling light 
　　My spirit lifted high 
　　(I found my freedom now) 
　　I found my freedom now 
　　And I'm traveling light 
　　 
　　Through the darkest alleys and loneliest valleys 
　　I was dragging those heavy chains of doubt and fear 
　　Then with the one word spoken the locks were broken 
　　Now He's leading me to places 
　　Where there are no tears 
　　 
　　Down by the riverside 
　　(Down by the riverside) 
　　I laid my burdens down, 
　　Now I'm traveling light 
　　My spirit lifted high 
　　(I found my freedom now) 
　　I found my freedom now 
　　And I'm traveling light 
　　 
　　Down by the riverside 
　　I laid my burdens down, 
　　Now I'm traveling light 
　　My spirit lifted high 
　　I found my freedom now 
　　And I'm traveling light 
　　 
　　Down by the riverside 
　　(Down by the riverside) 
　　I laid my burdens down, 
　　Now I'm traveling light 
　　My spirit lifted high 
　　(I found my freedom now) 
　　I found my freedom now 
　　And I'm traveling light
