K. Messal / G. Cormier  I've been traveling a long, long road, under a heavy load  and I can't see my way home  rain is fallin' heavily down, can't see my feet for the ground  I'm walking through a river of pain  Up around the very next bend, crossroads in my life again  must be time for introspection  lord I am a weary child, can you take the load for a while  and point me a direction  (Chorus)  'Cause the cold dark night wind's blowing  don't know if I'm coming or going  seems I've been down this road before  but I don't know when  I think I hear someone calling me  is it real or a memory  I don't think that I wanna see  around the next bend  People stop their lives to stare, will they ridicule or care  there's times it's hard to tell  will they laugh to keep from crying  am I the ghost of their dreams dying  or somehow their salvation  And the love ones I have known, distance between us grows  and I can't think what to say  Lord, I've fallen to my knees, Through the pain I beg you please  point me a direction.   (Chorus)
