The Longest Day

Will You walk next to me down this narrow road
It's dark soon and I don't believe we have far to go
'Cause my tired eyes can see those who have gone before me
And their light will carry me home
But if I don't have to I'd rather not walk alone

Pilgrim, all that you've worked for ain't far away
So lay down and rest at the end of the longest day

Go down, down to the river and wash your hands
And we shall press on ahead to the promise land
I know we'll be safe 'cause we'll stand at the gate
And knock 'til they open it wide
I stand ten times as tall when you're by my side

Pilgrim, all that you've worked for ain't far away
So lay down and rest at the end of the longest day

Come early dawn I will have to move on
I'll leave with you all that I have
'Cause or a sweet few miles I've not been such a lonely man
Yeah
