Towards your destination

But you may find

From time to time

Bite your lip, ale le and take a trip, ale le go

Though there may bewet road ahead, ale le

And you cannot slip, ale le go

And peace you will find

Into the steeple

Of beautiful people

Where there's only one kind

So keep on pushing

To a greater day

But just a little faith

If you put your mind to it

You can surely do it
