Joy at the start, fear in the journey,
joy in the coming home,
A part of the heart gets lost in the learning
Somewhere along the road.
Along the road your path may wander,
A pilgrim’s faith may fail,
Absence makes the heart grow stronger,
Darkness obscures the trail.
Cursing the quest, courting disaster,
Measureless nights forebode,
Moments of rest, glimpses of laughter
Are treasured along the road.
Along the road your steps may tumble,
Your thoughts may start to stray,
But through it all a heart held humble
Levels and lights your way.
Joy at the start, fear in the journey,
Joy in the coming home;
A part of the heart gets lost in the learning,
Somewhere along the road, somewhere along the road.
Dan Fogelberg, Along the Road
There is a joy in the journey, there’s a light we can love on the way.
There is a wonder and wildness to life, and freedom for those who obey.
Michael Card, Joy In The Journey
