Sun is up Time's at hand
There's a stir upon the land
And 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
It's open new Never go astray
On life's highway

We are young Them are old
Passin' through Then passin' on
Like the roses bloom and fade
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
