"Uphill All The Way" lyrics

My load keeps getting bigger as everyday rolls on
Just when I think I'll make it something else goes wrong
Lord I need a breather, and I'd just like to say
Why have you made it uphill all the way

I know things'll get better when we reach the Promised Land
But if I'm gonna make it I'm gonna need a helping hand
As this road of life gets steeper I get deeper in this clay
Lord why have you made it uphill all the way

I feel like a beast of burden with no hope in sight
Tell me there's an opening, please show me the light
As this road of life gets steeper I get deeper in this clay
Lord why have you made it uphill all the way

I feel like a beast of burden with no hope in sight...
