Travelin' Light

TRAVELIN' LIGHT
(Patrick Jason Matthews/Jim McCormick/Jon Mabe)

She’s been getting ready
She’s been making plans
Saying all of her I love yous and goodbyes in advance
Asking for forgiveness from anyone she might have wronged
There’ll be no unfinished business when she’s gone

She’s travelin' light
When she goes
There’ll be no suitcases, there’ll be no heavy loads
All she’s taking with her is her love for the ones she’ll leave behind
She’s travelin' light

She’s been reading in her Bible
She’s been saying prayers
Says she will be waiting for us when we get up there
'Cause when her body fails her
She knows it in her heart
She’ll cross the Jordan like a shooting star

She’s travelin' light
When she goes
There’ll be no suitcases, there’ll be no heavy loads
All she’s taking with her is her love for the ones she’ll leave behind
She’s travelin' light

No more suffering no more pain no more earthly fears
No more darkness no more rain and no more tears

She’s travelin' light
When she goes
There’ll be no suitcases, there’ll be no heavy loads
All she’s taking with her is her love for the ones she’ll leave behind
She’s travelin' light
