Lyrics

7. Weary Traveler



Weary traveler, rest a while

Weary traveler, rest a while

You’ve but to go one more mile

Weary traveler, rest a while



Troubled waters on the rise

Troubled waters on the rise

Keep that pure hope shinin’ in your eyes

Troubled waters on the rise



chorus

Well, it’s been this way since the very first day

Ain’t no need to wail and moan

Take your licks, stand up straight

Tell trouble it’ll have to wait



Ain’t no burden gonna hold us down

Ain’t no burden gonna hold us down

Shift that weight, boys, to higher ground

Ain’t no burden gonna hold us down



chorus



Seems this world is newly born

Seems this world is newly born

Go tell Gabriel, blow his horn

Seems this world is newly born
