Road Rise Up
Come on Darlin now don't be sad
(don't be sad)
You know things just ain't so bad
(ain't so bad)
The better angels of your nature
Will rush to help when hope has failed you
when the darkness deepens and you're far away
you're not lost but wandering
and every road you take will lead you home
may the road rise up to meet you
each hand be a friend
may the road rise up to meet you
and even though the journeys long
may each step bring you close to home again
Angel sitting on my shoulder tells me that
(ain't so bad)
there'll come another chance to hold you
(don't be sad)
the light that's hidden in your eyes
will shine like gold when fortune smiles
when the evening closes and you're far way
I know that tomorrow brings
another road that homeward leads you now
may the road rise up to meet you
each hand be a friend
may the road rise up to meet you
and even though the journeys long
may each step bring you close to home
may the road rise up to meet you
each hand be a friend
may the road rise up to meet you
and even though the journeys long
may each step bring you close to home again
