Sun is up Time's at hand There's a stir upon the land And so begins another day On life's highway On city streets Down country roads Like a stream the people flow There's bread to win and tolls to pay On life's highway There is hope with every turn A bridge to build A bridge to burn It's open new Never go astray On life's highway We are young Them are old Passin' through Then passin' on Like the roses bloom and fade On life's highway Step by step Round and round Never knowing where we're bound From the cradle to the grave On life's highway
