THE ROCKY ROAD

THE ROCKY ROAD We're travelling rocky road From sunrise to the night; The burdens we are carrying
 Are very far from light, But there's a freshness in the dawn
 That gives to life zest, And when the evening shadows fall
 A weary heart may rest. We're travelling a rocky road
 Where obstacles are met, And oftentines we strive in vain
 The wished for prize to get. But now and then a bit of song
 And now and then smile Send old man Trouble on his way
 And make the toll worth while
