Travelier’s Prayer

There's a tree that grows in the garden And I long for the fruit it will bear Though the thorns do dismay I will taste it someday With a song and a traveler's prayer Let me face the road I must travel Let me feel the cold and heat Let me walk in the sun Till my journey is done Let me taste the bitter with the sweet When it seems you have spent your life walking With a hot dusty road beneath your feet And you know you're meant to roam But still you yearn for home With every trial you meet Let me face the road I must travel Let me feel the cold and heat Let me walk in the sun Till my journey is done Let me taste the bitter with the sweet How many times have I stumbled Or lost my way again Bitter tears have I cried Even though I'm deep inside How much sweeter the journey's end Let me face the road I must travel Let me feel the cold and heat Let me walk in the sun Till my journey is done Let me taste the bitter with the sweet Let me face the road I must travel Let me feel the cold and heat Let me walk in the sun Till my journey is done Let me taste the bitter with the sweet Let me taste the bitter with the sweet
