Farther Down the Road
The storm is over
I’ve made it through, I’m safe at last
The sun has broken through the clouds
The worst is past
I felt so frail in the rain and wind and hail
I was sure my progress slowed
But now somehow I’ve come out standing
A little bit farther down the road
CHORUS: I’m a little bit stronger
And a little bit farther down the road
I’m a little bit nearer
In sight of my goal
I may have miles to go, goin’ on from here,
But I’m goin’ with a lighter load
I’m a little bit stronger
And a little bit farther down the road
‘Midst the rage and fury
I could not see my way ahead
For all I knew, I must be lost
My hopes had fled
And I was so hard-pressed, I’d never have guessed
Any blessing lay in store
Yet here I stand, a little bit stronger
And a little bit clearer than before
CHORUS
So if you’re travelin’
And the road gets rocky on the way
And those clouds a-gatherin’ overhead
Turn dark and gray
Just keep in mind, you don’t know what you might find
You might strike that mother lode
And there is joy and love and laughter
A little bit farther down the road
CHORUS
