Deep in the darkest canyon with ghosts at every turn/ I’d crossed a thousand raging rivers and swore I’d never learn/ The answer to a question I didn’t even know
Down the same dark trail you were traveling alone/ Two thousand miles away from home/ Into the western sunset you did roam/ A hard way to go
(Chorus)
Down the same dark trail we were lost and found each other/ And not many other lovers could endure the kinds of things that we’ve survived/ Sometimes we ride down the same dark trail
Looking for the sunrise, we can see the light/ Holding to each other, the feeling is so right/ But the lightning and the thunder as they are/ Confusion clouds the vision of our hearts/ We fall apart
(Chorus)
Down the same dark trail we were lost and found each other/ And our sisters and our brothers don’t know the pain that we try to hide/ so we just ride for our lives down the same dark trail
(Bridge)
But even on the darkest night you can still do something right/ Even in the fiery midst of hell, you don’t have to fail/ On the same dark trail
(Chorus)
Down the same dark trail we found God and saved each other/ And our children will discover the answers to the questions that they don’t know/ We have to let ‘em go down the same dark trail
Down the same dark trail
