lyrics version 1
One three, one two three [Spoken]
Well we're all travelling on a journey
Born to find our native land
Like a scattered tribe returning
We're tracing the ancient path
And leaving the desert sand
We found the highway few have taken
Winding up the mountain side
Other roads must be forsaken
Crossing the great divide
To live on the other side
And farther on the night will come
We'll struggle on through the rain
But we know the morning brings the sun
Lighting our way again
Someone has walked this road before
Someone who knows the way
And with every mile we trust him more
Following day by day
Though the rocky road gets steeper
We will never turn around
Jesus is our guide and keeper
Sharing his love we've found
That we are travelling homeward bound
A friend we can lean upon
Is leading us farther on
He's taking us home
We don't never need to be alone
We're all travelling on a journey
We'll never be returning
Farther on now
Travelling on
Travelling, travelling, travelling, travelling on now
We take the highway up through the sky
We take the highway, we're gonna fly
Take the highway
Going home
To lead us home
To lead us home
To lead us on home
I ain't afraid
I know the saviour
I ain't afraid
I know the Lord
He is my friend
I know the Lord
Well we're all travelling on a journey
Born to find our native land
Like a scattered tribe returning
We're tracing the ancient path
And leaving the desert sand
We found the highway few have taken
Winding up the mountain side
Other roads must be forsaken
Crossing the great divide
To live on the other side
And farther on the night will come
We'll struggle on through the rain
But we know the morning brings the sun
Lighting our way again
Someone has walked this road before
Someone who knows the way
And with every mile we trust him more
Following day by day
Though the rocky road gets steeper
We will never turn around
Jesus is our guide and keeper
Sharing his love we've found
That we are travelling homeward bound
A friend we can lean upon
Is leading us farther on
He's taking us home
We don't never need to be alone
We're all travelling on a journey
We'll never be returning
Farther on now
Travelling on
Travelling, travelling, travelling, travelling on now
We take the highway up through the sky
We take the highway, we're gonna fly
Take the highway
Going home
To lead us home
To lead us home
To lead us on home
I ain't afraid
I know the saviour
I ain't afraid
I know the Lord
He is my friend
I know the Lord
