THERE’LL ALWAYS
BE A WAY
The longest drouth that ever came was broken
by a rain,
And through the darkest rack of clouds the
sunlight shone again,
For Nature has a primal law that all things
must obey,
Though sun may bake, and storm may shake,
there’ll always be a way.
I’ve stood with failure face to face and looked
him o’er and o’er,
A dozen times I’ve heard the wolf a-scratching
at my door,
I’ve stood upon the slip’ry brink, where Ruin’s
chasm lay,
But just before my feet went o’er there always
came a way.
I’m not advising any man to just sit down and
wait,
’Till fortune brings a lump of gold and lays it
at his gate,
This world is just a battle ground where men
must fight to win,
And life will generally give back about what
you put in.
! I But I would give a word of cheer to those who
\; do their best,
11 To those whom fate has hardly cursed or for
‘ • tune's hand caressed,
;; When Ruin stares you in the face, and trouble
!! turns you gray,
Just smile at fate, and work and wait, there’ll
\; always be a way.
