the greater the gift shall be
this sweet small voice tells me
stay the course turn not around
just keep on a going, son
just keep on a going straight ahead
find your pleasure in the doing
find your joy along the rocky byway
though your destination seems
it seems so distant far away
now your journey's end is near
and your reward is oh so grand
for the harder your struggle
the greater the gift shall be
this sweet small voice whispers
stay the course turn not around
just keep on a going, son
just keep on a going straight ahead
look not right, left, up nor down
nor hear a discouraging sound
soon your eyes will open and see
the greater the gift shall be
stay the course turn not around
just keep on a going, son
just keep on a going straight ahead
find your pleasure in the doing
find your joy along the rocky byway
though your destination seems
it seems so distant far away
now your journey's end is near
and your reward is oh so grand
for the harder your struggle
the greater the gift shall be
this sweet small voice whispers
stay the course turn not around
just keep on a going, son
just keep on a going straight ahead
look not right, left, up nor down
nor hear a discouraging sound
soon your eyes will open and see
the greater the gift shall be
