The music was interesting, but I find the lyrics lacking unless one views the light and road as Christ.
"Share your load" reminds me of "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" and "Take a Load Off Baby", which is a
good para-Christian theme.

And if you feel that you can't go on
And your will's sinkin' low
Just believe, and you can't go wrong
In the light you will find the road
You will find the road
Oh, did you ever believe that I could leave you
Standing out in the cold
I know how it feels 'cause I have slipped through
To the very depths of my soul
Ooh baby, I just want to show you what a clear view
It is from every bend in the road
Now listen to me
Oh, whoa-whoa, as I was
And really would be for you, too, honey
As you would for me, oh, I would share your load
Let me share your load
Ooh, let me share, share your load
And if you feel that you can't go on
In the light you will find the road
Though the winds of change may blow around you
But that will always be so
Whoa whoa, when love is pain it can devour you, but you are never alone
I will share your load, I will share your load
Baby, let me, oh, let me
In the light
Everybody needs the light...

I like mining for biblical nuggets in secular songs, so thanks for sharing it!

That is a long one! Here are the lyrics, which mention Jesus many times,
but were any of the songwriters (Robert Plant / John Paul Jones / John Bonham / James Patrick (jimmy) Page) Christians?

In my time of dying
Want nobody to mourn
All I want for you to do
Is take my body home
Well, well, well, so I can die easy
Well, well, well, so I can die easy
Jesus gotta make up, sure know
Jesus gotta make up
Jesus gonna make up my dyin' bed
Meet me, Jesus, meet me
Ooh, meet me in the middle of the air
If my wings should fail me, Lord
Oh, please meet me with another pair
Well, well, well, so I can die easy
Oh-oh, well, well, well, so I can die easy
Jesus gotta make up, somebody, somebody
Oh, oh, Jesus gotta make up
Jesus gonna make it my dyin' bed

Oh, Saint Peter, at the gates of heaven
Won't you let me in?
I never did no harm
I never did no wrong
Oh, oh, Gabriel, oh, let me blow your horn
Let me blow your horn
Oh, I never did no harm
Did no wrong
I've only been young once
I never thought I'd do anybody no wrong
No, not once, oh
Oh, good!

Oh, I did somebody so good
Somebody some good, yeah, I saw
Oh, did somebody some good, yeah
I musta did somebody some good, yeah
Oh, I believe I did
I see the smiling faces, yeah
I know there must be lipstick traces, oh
And I see them in the streets
And I see them in the fields, yeah
And I hear them under my feet
And I know it's got to be real

Oh, Lord, deliver me
All the wrong I've done
Oh, you can deliver me, Lord, yeah
I only wanted to have some fun
Oh, hear, the angels marching, marching
They been marching, keep it marching, yeah, marching

Oh, my Jesus, oh, my Jesus, oh, my Jesus
Oh, my Jesus, oh, my Jesus, oh, my Jesus
Oh, my Jesus, oh, my Jesus, oh, my Jesus
Oh, my Jesus, oh, my Jesus, oh, my Jesus
Oh, my Je, ah-oh, ah, my Je
Hey, yeah, that's got to be my Jesus
Whoa-whoa!
It's got to be, it's got to be my Jesus
It's got to be, oh
It's got to be my Jesus
Oh, oh, take me home

Come on, come on
I can hear the angels singing
Oh, here they come, here they come, here they come
Bye-bye, bye-bye
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
Oh, feels pretty good up here, pretty good up here
I'll touch Jesus, I'll touch Jesus, I'll touch Jesus
I'll touch Jesus, I'll touch Jesus
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
Oh, I see him
Come on
Take it, take it, take it, take it, take it, take it
Take it, take it, take it, take it, take it, take it, take it
Ooh, yes, come on, oh, oh, yeah!
Oh, don't you make it my dyin', dyin', dyin' cough
That's gonna be the one, isn't it?
Come and have a listen, then
Oh, yes, thank you

I don't quite know what to think about this. :unsure:

If this whole album isn't on your '70s playlist, you're missing out on some fine music.

Nice music; here are the lyrics:

Sweet surrender on the quayside
You remember we used to run and hide
In the shadow of the cargoes I take you one time
And we're counting all the numbers down to the waterline
Near misses on the dog leap stairways
French kisses in the darkened doorways
A foghorn blowing out wild and cold
A policeman shines a light upon my shoulder
Up comes a coaster fast and silent in the night
Over my shoulder all you can see are the pilot lights
No money in our jackets and our jeans are torn
Your hands are cold but your lips are warm
She can see him on the jetty where they used to go
She can feel him in the places where the sailors go
When she's walking by the river and the railway line
She can still hear him whisper, "Let's go down to the waterline"
Come on.

It sounds like a song by Bob Dylan, but I can't think of the name of it.
