Our backpacks are so heavy
With secrets none can see

Help us carry the load
On this long road


Our legs are tired and aching
Holes in our souls gaping
Evil we're escaping

Walking away



CHORUS:

We are wayfarers

Treading through twilight
Escaping the wolf's bite


The path is straight and narrow
Beneath a million stars
Trekking to our Savior

Watching the sky
Our backpacks are so heavy
With secrets none can see

Jesus, carry the load
On this long road


CHORUS:

We are wayfarers

Treading through twilight
Escaping the wolf's bite
We are wayfarers

Walking from the east
Armored against the beast



Lord, your voice we heard
Up from this fallen world

We're dumping our backpacks
And we're not turning back



We are wayfarers
We are wayfarers

Onward ho!
Onward ho!
