No lingering by old doors of doubt | B |
No loitering by the way | C |
No waiting a To morrow car | D |
When you can board To day | C |
Success is somewhere down the track | E |
Before the chance is gone | F |
Accelerate your laggard pace | G |
Swing on I say swing on | H |
Hurry up | I |
- | |
'Step lively ' | - |
Belated souls are following fast | J |
They shout and signal 'Wait ' | - |
Conductor Time brooks no delay | C |
He rings the bell of Fate | K |
But you can give the man behind | L |
With one hand on the bar | D |
A final chance to brook defeat | M |
And board the moving car | D |
Step lively | N |
- | |
'Move up ' | - |
Make way for others as you sit | O |
Or stand This crowded earth | P |
Has room for every journeying soul | Q |
En route to higher birth | P |
Ay room and comfort if no one | R |
Took double share or space | G |
Nor let his greed and selfishness | S |
Absorb another's place | G |
Move up | I |

'Hold fast ' | - |
The jolting switch of obstacles | T |
With jarring rails is near | U |
Stand firm of foot be strong of grip | V |
Brace well and have no fear | U |
The Maker of the Car of Life | W |
Foresaw that curve Despair | X |
And hung the straps of faith and hope | Y |
So you might grasp them there | X |
Hold fast | J |
