Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Under the sun The fight rages on And the east wind is howling So we’ve already won It matters not if we fall So long as our names are called And we can answer “our salt Has not lost its savor” If your head’s in a basket Or body’s in a casket Or at the bottom of the sea Or any other misery Know this my son That glory will follow It’s neither flag nor fail Until gently through the veil When all the pain turns out to be Nothing but just a memory Know this my son That all sorrow gets swallowed We can never forsake The promise we made And abandon the ship For the shallows to wade We must stay at our post And watch for the day when all The beautiful beaches Break into pieces If your head’s in a basket Or body’s in a casket Or at the bottom of the sea Or any other misery Know this my son That glory will follow It’s neither flag nor fail Until gently through the veil When all the pain turns out to be Nothing but just a memory Know this my son That all sorrow gets swallowed “And how can man die better than facing fearful odds for the ashes of his fathers, and the temples of his Gods?” (Thomas Babington Macaulay) Don’t count yourself unworthy When you stand we’ll all be there Beside you and inside you Please don’t count yourself unworthy If you’ve fought with your last breath Then the fight is won regardless... If your head’s in a basket Or body’s in a casket Or at the bottom of the sea Or any other misery Know this my son That glory will follow It’s neither flag nor fail Until gently through the veil When all the pain turns out to be Nothing but just a memory Know this my son That all sorrow gets swallowed
