I have to say, my friends This road goes a long, long way And if we're going to find the end We're going to need a helping hand I have to say, my friends We're looking for a light ahead In the distance, a candle burns Salvation keeps the hungry children fed It's gotta take a lot of salvation What we need are willing hands You must feel the sweat in your eyes You must understand salvation A chance to put the devil down Without the fear of hell Salvation spreads the gospel 'round And free you from yourself It's gotta take a lot of salvation What we need are willing hands You must feel the sweat in your eyes You must understand salvation I have to say, my friends This road goes a long, long way And if we're going to find the end We're going to need a helping hand I have to say, my friends We're looking for a light ahead In the distance, a candle burns Salvation keeps the hungry children fed It's gotta take a lot of salvation What we need are willing hands You must feel the sweat in your eyes You must understand salvation Oh, it's gotta take a lot of salvation What we need are willing hands You must feel the sweat in your eyes You must understand salvation
