Well I was doubling over the load on my shoulders如双倍的重量压在肩上,
Was a weight I carried with me everyday感觉自己每日在负重前行;
Crossing miles of frustrations and rivers a raging走过挫折的道路,穿越伤痛的河流,
Picking up stones I found along the way不断俯拾路旁的卵石;
I staggered and I stumbled down我摇晃着,坎坷前行,
Pathways of trouble眼前是充满烦恼的路。
I was hauling those souvenirs of misery我拖曳着,和这些负重,
And with each step taken my back was breaking每一步都感觉后背要被压垮,
\'TilI found the One who took it all from me 直到我发现了他,
Down by the riverside走在河滩上,
(Down by the riverside)
I laid my burdens down,我卸下了负重,
Now I\'m traveling light
My spirit lifted high我的精神在升腾,
(I found my freedom now)
I found my freedom now我终于找到了自由。
And I\'m traveling light 我轻装前行。
Through the darkest alleys and loneliest valleys在黑暗的隧道和孤独的山谷里,
I was dragging those heavy chains of doubt and fear我曾背负那些沉重的锁链,
Then with the one word spoken the locks were broken充满不安和恐惧,
Now He\'s leading me to places可现在一句简单的话,锁链已打开,
Where there are no tears 他引导我来到了再也不要流泪的地方。
