Some times the outlook's hopeless
Dark shadows ev'rywhere,
Life seems oh, such a strange affair,
Yet all alone this island
once faced the common foe
chins up
backs to the wall
and so we know....

Undismayed and don't mistake it
there's a grade
and we can make it,
skies of blue
will soon by smiling thro'
for ev'rybody one day soon.
Thro' the tears
and fears and sadness
into years of gracious gladness,
Hand in hand
we'll build a better land
for ev'rybody one day soon.
The way may be long
many things may go wrong
and the clouds gather in the sky,
We've been thro' the mill
but we're climbing the hill
and we'll stand
till the clouds roll by.
Then when war and fighting ceases
then once more
we'll know what peace is,
Love will reign
and joy will come again
for ev'rybody
One Day Soon.

Undismayed and don't mistake it
there's a grade
and we can make it,
skies of blue
will soon by smiling thro'
for ev'rybody one day soon.
Thro' the tears
and fears and sadness
into years of gracious gladness,
Hand in hand
we'll build a better land
for ev'rybody one day soon.
The way may be long
many things may go wrong
and the clouds gather in the sky,
We've been thro' the mill
but we're climbing the hill
and we'll stand
till the clouds roll by.
Then when war and fighting ceases
then once more
we'll know what peace is,
Love will reign
and joy will come again
for ev'rybody
One Day Soon.

Yet, when we just remember
all that we must defend,
we'll stand right to the journey's end.
Ours was the grand example
Ours the unconquered will
and our destiny we'll fulfil, we will

Undismayed and don't mistake it
there's a grade
and we can make it,
skies of blue
will soon by smiling thro'
for ev'rybody one day soon.
Thro' the tears
and fears and sadness
into years of gracious gladness,
Hand in hand
we'll build a better land
for ev'rybody one day soon.
The way may be long
many things may go wrong
and the clouds gather in the sky,
We've been thro' the mill
but we're climbing the hill
and we'll stand
till the clouds roll by.
Then when war and fighting ceases
then once more
we'll know what peace is,
Love will reign
and joy will come again
for ev'rybody
One Day Soon.

Undismayed and don't mistake it
there's a grade
and we can make it,
skies of blue
will soon by smiling thro'
for ev'rybody one day soon.
Thro' the tears
and fears and sadness
into years of gracious gladness,
Hand in hand
we'll build a better land
for ev'rybody one day soon.
The way may be long
many things may go wrong
and the clouds gather in the sky,
We've been thro' the mill
but we're climbing the hill
and we'll stand
till the clouds roll by.
Then when war and fighting ceases
then once more
we'll know what peace is,
Love will reign
and joy will come again
for ev'rybody
One Day Soon.
