Along The Road
Susan Ashton Margaret Becker Lyrics

Joy at the start
The beginning of a journey is often filled with happiness and optimism.

Fear in the journey
As we progress through life, we often face obstacles and challenges that make us anxious or uncertain.

Joy in the coming home
Returning home after a difficult journey can bring a sense of satisfaction and relief.

A part of the heart
As we experience new things, some parts of us may change or be left behind.

Gets lost in the learning
The process of learning can be difficult and uncomfortable, but it can also help us grow and develop as people.

Somewhere along the road
At some point in our journey, we may encounter unexpected challenges or changes that alter our path or our perspective.

Your path may wander
Life is full of twists and turns, and sometimes we may deviate from our original plan or goal.

A pilgrim's faith may fail
Even those who are on a spiritual or personal journey may experience doubt or uncertainty at times.

Absence makes the heart grow stronger
Being apart from someone or something can make us appreciate them more when we are reunited.

Darkness obscures the trail
When we are faced with uncertainty or difficulty, it can be hard to see the way forward.

Cursing the quest
Sometimes we may feel frustrated or angry about the challenges we face, and question whether the journey is worth it.

Courting disaster
Taking risks can lead to failure or danger, but it can also lead to growth and opportunity.

Measureless nights forebode
Long periods of darkness or difficulty can be frightening and overwhelming.

Moments of rest
Taking a break or pausing to reflect can help us recharge and regain perspective during challenging times.

Glimpses of laughter
Even in difficult times, there are often moments of joy or humor that remind us of the good in life.

Are treasured along the road
These moments of joy and rest can be valuable and important parts of our journey, and should be remembered and appreciated.

Your steps may tumble
We may stumble or falter along our path, but that is a normal and expected part of the journey.

Your thoughts may start to stray
As we encounter new experiences and challenges, it is natural for our thoughts and perspectives to shift and evolve.

But through it all a heart held humble
Maintaining a sense of humility and openness can help us stay centered and grounded during difficult times.

Levels and lights your way
Having a humble and open heart can help guide us towards our goals and light the path ahead.

Somewhere along the road
Throughout our journey, we will continue to face new challenges and experiences that shape who we are as people.

Somewhere along the road
But no matter what happens, we can take comfort in the fact that we are all on this journey together.

Somewhere along the road
And that the ups and downs, the joys and fears, are all a natural part of the human experience.
