[Verse 1] I been walking through the dust With my name worn thin Every mile feel heavy Still I’m trying to win Holes in my shoes But my heart won’t fold I can see that old home Shining through the cold [Pre-Chorus] If my knees get weak And my eyes lose sight Hold me by the hand Till I see that light [Chorus] It’s a long lonely road back to Zion (Back to Zion) Just want to make it back To the promised land It’s a long lonely road back to Zion (Back to Zion) But I’ll keep on going Till I touch that sand [Verse 2] I heard my mother sing At the edge of night About a river clean And a city bright Every scar I carry Every tear I’ve known Feels a little lighter When I’m not alone [Pre-Chorus] If my feet give out And the shadows grow Lift my chin up high Let me hear you call [Chorus] It’s a long lonely road back to Zion (Back to Zion) Just want to make it back To the promised land It’s a long lonely road back to Zion (Back to Zion) But I’ll keep on going Till I touch that sand [Bridge] I don’t need gold I don’t need fame Just mercy on my path And a place by name When the valley folds I’ll still sing out strong You were with me all along You were with me all along [Chorus] It’s a long lonely road back to Zion (Back to Zion) Just want to make it back To the promised land It’s a long lonely road back to Zion (Back to Zion) And I’ll praise my way Till I touch that sand
