We are traveling on life’s journey
We are going down the road.
We are speeding down the turnpike
With a light or heavy load.
Though we falter neath the shadows
Or cheer beneath the glow.
Of balmy sunlit stretches
No pause do we in e’er to know.
Between our childhood cradle
And the grave toward which we go.
Be our hours sad or pleasant
Be our moments gray or grave.
Be our cup mild sweet or better
Life is pulsing on it’s way.
To the brink of the eternal
From there is no returning.
Towards the unknown we are whirling
As we travel on Life’s way.
We now have reached the summit
And the road aheads forlorn.
Toward the twilight we are heading
With our back turned towards the morn.
And through the sunsets splendor
Casts a glow rich, warm and tender.
Time that glory soon will render.
And the brilliance will surrender
To the night that’s coming on.
So while we’re traveling on life’s journey
While we’re going down the road.
While we’re speeding down the turnpike
With a light or heavy load.
Let us win whatever gladness
Gain what sunshine that we may..
And unmindful of our sorrows
Enjoy life’s little day.
