WELL, I'M ONE DAY, ONE DAY CLOSER 
THAN I'VE EVER BEEN BEFORE 
ONE MILE, ONE MILE FURTHER 
DOWN THIS TIRED AND WEARY ROAD 
THIS OLD WORLD IS FULL OF SOME TROUBLE 
SO MANY HEARTACHES I HAVE KNOWN 
LIKE A PILGRIM I KEEP ON MOVING 
'CAUSE THIS WORLD IS NOT MY HOME 
CHS: 
IT'S A LONG WALK 
IT'S A LONG WALK 
IT'S A LONG WALK TO HEAVEN 
AND I'M TOO CLOSE TO TURN AROUND 
SOMETIMES EVERY MILE'S A MOUNTAIN 
AND EACH STEP, LORD, I'M COUNTING 
UNTIL I SEE THE LIGHTS BEYOND THAT CRYSTAL SEA 
LEAD ME ON, LEST I FALTER 
UNTIL I KNEEL DOWN AT YOUR ALTAR 
THEN FATHER PLEASE, OH PLEASE, OH PLEASE HAVE MERCY ON ME 
WELL, WELL, WELL, WELL 
CHS: 
WELL, IT'S A LONG WALK 
IT'S A LONG WALK 
IT'S A LONG WALK TO HEAVEN 
BUT I'M TOO CLOSE TO TURN AROUND 
TURN AROUND, TO TURN AROUND
