The sun is up, the time's at hand There's a stir across the land 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 Here's hoping you never go astray On life's highway We are young then we're old Passing through, then passing on Like roses bloom and fade On life's highway There is hope with every turn A bridge to build, a bridge to burn Here's hoping you never go astray 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
