I have to say my friends
This road goes a long, long way
And if we're gonna find the end
We're gonna need a helping hand
This road goes a long, long way
And if we're gonna find the end
We're gonna need a helping hand
I have to say my friends
We're looking for a light ahead
In the distance a candle burns
Salvation keeps the hungry children fed
We're looking for a light ahead
In the distance a candle burns
Salvation keeps the hungry children fed
chorus:
It's gotta take a lot of salvation
What we need are willing hands
You must feel the sweat in your eyes
You must understand salvation
What we need are willing hands
You must feel the sweat in your eyes
You must understand salvation
A chance to put the devil down
Without the fear of hell
Salvation spreads the gospel 'round
And free you from yourself
Without the fear of hell
Salvation spreads the gospel 'round
And free you from yourself
(repeat chorus)
I have to say my friends
This road goes a long, long way
And if we're gonna find the end
We're gonna need a helping hand
This road goes a long, long way
And if we're gonna find the end
We're gonna need a helping hand
I have to say my friends
We're looking for a light ahead
In the distance a candle burns
Salvation keeps the hungry children fed
We're looking for a light ahead
In the distance a candle burns
Salvation keeps the hungry children fed
(repeat chorus)
(repeat chorus)
