Well I was doubling over the load on my shoulders was a weight I
carried
with me everyday. Crossin' miles of frustrations and rivers a ragin',
Picken up stones I found along the way.
I staggered and I stumbled down pathways of trouble
I was haulin' those souveniers of misery
And with each step taken my back was breakin'
Till I found the one who took it all from me.
Chorus
Down by the riverside (down by the riverside) I laid my burdens down,
Now I'm travlin' light.
My spirit lifted high I found my freedom now and I'm Travlin' light
verse 2
Through the darkest alleys and the lonliest vallys
I was draggin' those heavy chains of doubt and fear
Then with one word spoken the locks were broken
Now He's leading me to places where there are no tears
