Lyrics
- Ev’ry road thro’ life is a long long road
Fill’d with joys and sorrows, too
As you journey on how your heart will yearn
For the things most dear to you
With wealth and love ’tis so
But onward we must go
Chorus
Keep right on to the end of the road
Keep right on to the end
Tho’ the way be long, let your heart be strong
Keep right on round the bend
Tho’ you’re tired and weary
Still journey on till you come to your happy abode
Where all you love you’ve been dreaming of
Will be there at the end of the road
- With a big stout heart to a long steep hill
We may get there with a smile
With a good kind thought and an end in view
We may cut short many a mile
So let courage ev’ry day
Be your guiding star alway
Sung here by Vancha March:
