if up's the word; and a world grows greener
minute by second and most by more ---
if death is the winner and life is the winner
(and beggars are rich but misers are poor)
--- let's touch the sky:
with a to and a fro
(and a here there where) and away we go
in even the laziest creature among us
a wisdom no knowledge can kill is astir ---
now dull eyes are keen and keen eyes are keener
(for young is the year, for young is the year)
--- let's touch the sky:
with a great (and a gay
and a steep) deep rush through amazing day
it's brains without hearts have set saints against sinner;
put gain over gladness and joy under care ---
let's do as an earth which can never do wrong does
(minute by second and most by more)
--- let's touch the sky:
with a strange (and a true)
and a climbing fall into far near blue
if beggars are rich (and a robin will sing his
robin a song) but misers are poor ---
let's love until noone could quite be (and young is
the year, dear) as living as i'm and you're
--- let's touch the sky:
with a you and a me
and an every (who's any who's some) one who's we
