When you've set your head to do it,
When your judgment says you re right,
When your conscience gives its sanction,
Then pitch in with all your might.

Though the odds seem big and strong;
Every obstacle must vanish
AS the swift day rolls along
Ii you set your jaw and say:
We'll, In going to, anyway.
While the whole world loves lover,
Yet it loves winner best
Loves the man who, till he conquer
Stops not cen for sleep or rest
Oft he may be worn and hagSard,
Often he may weary be;
Yet the lion heart within him
Has been firm as rock since he
Set his quiet jaw to say:
We'll, I'm going to, any way!
