Through the shine through the rainA
We have shared the day's loadB
To the old march againC
We have tramped the long roadB
We have laughed we have criedD
And we've tossed the King's crownE
We have fought we have diedD
And we've trod the day downE
So it's lift the old songF
Ere the night flies againC
Where the road leads alongF
Through the shine through the rainA
-
Long ago far awayG
Came a sign from the skiesH
And we feared then to prayG
For the new sun to riseH
With the King there at handI
Not a child stepped or stirredJ
Where the light filled the landI
And the light brought the wordJ
For we knew then the gleamK
Though we feared then the dayG
And the dawn smote the dreamK
Long ago far awayG
-
But the road leads us allL
For the King now is deadM
And we know stand or fallL
We have shared the day's breadM
We may laugh down the dreamK
For the dream breaks and fliesH
And we trust now the gleamK
For the gleam never diesH
So it's off now the loadB
For we know the night's callL
And we know now the roadB
And the road leads us allL
-
Through the shine through the rainA
We have wrought the day's questN
To the old march againC
We have earned the day's restN
We have laughed we have criedD
And we've heard the King's groansO
We have fought we have diedD
And we've burned the King's bonesO
And we lift the old songF
Ere the night flies againC
Where the road leads alongF
Through the shine through the rainA
