Inspiration for this song came from many children and adults I have known who faced more than their share of troubles. It has been used many times to begin or end special music programs across the United States. ----Dianne Baker
Refrain:
Let's go singin'…down that road.
Let's go singin'..as far as we go!!
This road is rocky...life's not easy, this we know.
So we'll be singin' as far as we go!
Verse 1
Can't look to the future...must live each day_ as it appears.
Each sunrise oh, so precious...with its hopes and fears!
We're in this together...our time is not so long____
Must make the most of what we have___
while singin' a song…...while singin' a song!
(Refrain)
Verse 2
This road's always winding...through hills and valleys of our lives.
Dark clouds go driftin' over...detours we'll find!
Must not give up , though….we'll see the sun before too long.
We'll make the most of what we have…
while singin' a song…...while singin' a song!
(Refrain and Coda)
Coda: Singin' singin'...as far as we go
(repeat and fade)
