by Joel Hanson＆Sara Groves

Well I was doubling over the load on my shoulders

Was a weight I carried with me everyday

Crossing miles of frustrations and rivers a raging

Picking up stones I found along the way

I staggered and I stumbled down

Pathways of trouble

I was hauling those souvenirs of misery

And with each step taken my back was breaking

'Til I found the One who took it all from me

Down by the riverside

(Down by the riverside)

I laid my burdens down,

Now I'm traveling light

My spirit lifted high

(I found my freedom now)

I found my freedom now

And I'm traveling light

Through the darkest alleys and loneliest valleys

I was dragging those heavy chains of doubt and fear

Then with the one word spoken the locks were broken

Now He's leading me to places

Where there are no tears

Down by the riverside

(Down by the riverside)

I laid my burdens down,

Now I'm traveling light

My spirit lifted high

(I found my freedom now)

I found my freedom now

And I'm traveling light

Down by the riverside

I laid my burdens down

Now I'm traveling light

My spirit lifted high

I found my freedom now

And I'm traveling light

Down by the riverside

(Down by the riverside)

I laid my burdens down,

Now I'm traveling light

My spirit lifted high

(I found my freedom now)

I found my freedom now

And I'm traveling light

我双肩负重

每天都被它压弯了腰

走过挫折的道路

穿越伤痛的河流

沿途俯拾路旁的石头

我蹒跚而行

前路是无尽的荆棘和烦恼

我背负着痛苦的记忆

每走一步都觉得后背要被压垮

一直到我找到了他

才卸下了全部重担

就在河边

我卸下了自己的重担

如今我轻装前行

我的心灵快乐地飞翔

我终于找到了自由

我轻装前行

走过最幽暗的小径

穿越最静寂的山谷

我曾背负那些沉重的锁链

充满疑虑和恐惧

可现在一句简单的话

锁链已打开

他引导我来到了

再也不要流泪的地方

就在河边

我卸下了自己的重担

如今我轻装前行

我的心灵快乐地飞翔

我终于找到了自由

我将轻装前行

这首歌的主唱Joel Hanson和担任和声的Sara Groves都是乡村歌手。Joel Hanson可以说是一位多产的原创歌手，先后曾与音乐界的Geoff Moore和Phil Keaggy等多位艺人合作过。他曾经是荣获过格莱美奖和基督摇滚音乐和平鸽奖（Dove Award）的美国福音乐队（PFR）的成员主唱和吉他手。在1997年PFR解体之后，他走上了单飞的音乐道路，但2000年PFR又重新组合起来，并先后推出了《Captured》和《Broken》两张专辑，但是成绩并不理想，直到他与Sara Groves合作的一首单曲“Traveling Light”推出之后，才取得了轰动效果。“Traveling Light”恰如其分地反映了Joel Hanson在之前遇到的困境和后来的释怀与解脱。这首歌曲是很轻松的音乐，思绪在飘渺的旋律中尽情地放纵，往事在悠悠的曲子里隐现，动听的旋律勾起的总是最美好的回忆。就像在夕阳下，迎着柔和的阳光，卸下身上重重的行囊，奔向远方……值得回味！
