Traveling Light

I was doubling over the load on my shoulders
曾经在我肩头有千钧重担，让我不堪重负
was a weight
I carried with me everyday
每天每日我都觉得沉重不堪难以解脱！
Crossing miles of frustrations² and rivers of raging
穿过满路荆棘挫折，趟过无数狂怒激流
Picking up stones I found along the way
不忘一路俯拾寻找圆润美丽的卵石！
I staggered and I stumbled down
pathways of trouble I was
走过这条烦恼不断的旅途！
hauling those souvenirs of misery³
所有痛苦不幸的回忆让我步履蹒跚
And with each step taken my back was breaking
每一步都仿似将要压弯我的脊梁
Till I found the One who took it all from me
直到遇到他，我如释重负
Down by the riverside(Down by the riverside)
漫步河畔
I laid my burdens down,Now I'm traveling light
我卸下自身重负，如今我将轻装前行
My spirit lifted high(I found my freedom now)
我志气昂扬（我找到了我的自由）
I found my freedom now,And I'm traveling light
如今的我终于自由，我将轻装前行
Through the darkest alleys⁴ and loneliest valleys
走过晦暗无光的衢巷，穿越幽暗深邃的幽谷
I was dragging those heavy chains of doubt and fear
我曾背负着疑虑和恐惧的枷锁让我踉跄难行
Then with the one word spoken the locks were broken
你一句简单的言语便破除了我全部枷锁
Now He's leading me to places Where there are no tears
如今他正引领着我前往
Down by the riverside(Down by the riverside)
漫步河畔
I laid my burdens down,Now I'm traveling light
我卸下自身重负，如今我将轻装前行
My spirit lifted high(I found my freedom now)
