Keep Right on to the End of the Road

Keep Right on to the End of the Road
Ev'ry road thro' life is a long, long road, 
Fill'd with joys and sorrows too, 
As you journey on how your heart will yearn 
For the things most dear to you. 
With wealth and love 'tis so, 
But onward we must go.

Keep right on to the end of the road, 
Keep right on to the end, 
Tho' the way be long, let your heart be strong, 
Keep right on round the bend. 
Tho' you're tired and weary still journey on, 
Till you come to your happy abode, 
Where all the love you've been dreaming of 
Will be there at the end of the road.


With a big stout heart to a long steep hill, 
We may get there with a smile, 
With a good kind thought and an end in view, 
We may cut short many a mile. 
So let courage ev'ry day 
Be your guiding star alway.

This well loved song was written by Sir Harry Lauder after his son John  was killed in action in World War 1
