Oh, the river gets deeper, the hills get steeper
And the pain gets deeper every day, yeah
But I can't turn back, my heart is fixed
Said, it's a hard road to travel and a rough, rough way to go
But I can't turn back, my heart is fixed
My mind's made up, I'll never stop, my faith will see, see me through
Oh, in my eyes, I see troubles and danger for me
I've got a hard road to travel and a rough, rough way to go
But I can't turn back, my heart is fixed
But destiny where it leads me, I must go, hey
Let me tell you, I'm all alone, this lonesome road, I roam
Where there is love and peace and joy for me
I've got a hard road to travel and a rough, rough way to go
My mind's made up, I'll never stop, my faith will see, see me through
My mind's made up, I'll never stop, my faith will see, see me through
One more thing, I dream of a home, far beyond the sea
Said, it's a hard road to travel and a rough, rough way to go
I've got no love to call my very own
