Sometimes the road goes on forever, Sometimes the road goes on in vain, But we carry on through stormy weather, Knowing things won't always stay the same. It's a long road that has no turning, It's a long road that has no bend, It's a dark cloud arising, Without some silver lining, It's a high hill you're climbing, That doesn't go back down again, So keep the home fires burning, Keep your shelter from the wind, The world will all seem warmer, When you finally turn that corner, The sun will shine again, If you just wait till then. Sometimes the road is hard to follow, They're trying times everywhere we go, But we carry on towards tomorrow, Could be a better day, For all we know. It's a long road that has no turning, It's a long road that has no bend, It's a dark cloud arising, Without some silver lining, It's a high hill you're climbing, That doesn't go back down again, So keep the home fires burning, Keep your shelter from the wind, The world will all seem warmer, When you finally turn that corner, The sun will shine again, If you just wait till then. So keep the home fires burning, Keep your shelter from the wind, The world will all seem warmer, When you finally turn that corner, The sun will shine again, If you just wait till then.
