We leave the shore on the sea of life We sink if we don't swim Sure as the sun will rise again We're whistling in the wind Springtime comes and all's made new New life stands straight and tall Made more sweet 'Cause you know some day Everything whithers and falls How can we know how life will unfold When we cannot see the road Through the mists of time The path unwinds To the end of the road we go We sing brave songs as we march along
As though we were off to the fair We grasp at what glitters And find all along We're just grabbing some handfull of air And we lean on each other to mend our hearts When we're beaten and burdened with care 'Til we find that the child that we thought We'd lost Was always inside us somewhere How can we know how life will unfold When we cannot see the road Through the mists of time The path unwinds To the end of the road we go
