Lyrics
The Trek
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The excursion begins in revelry
But the miles compile a sense of disparity
And the day becomes perilously long
The best way to cope
When the end of your rope
Is dangling in your face
Imagine the taste
Of the glory that awaits all ahead
Don't lose heart, comrades
It's over that hill
It's over that hill
The very next hill
Don't lose heart, comrades
It's over that hill
Paradise is just over that hill
Trudging through life
Dodging peril and strife
Filling those days
With a lackadaisical malaise
The adventure seems perilously long
The best way to cope
When the end of your rope
Hangs before your eyes
Take joy in the prize
Of the glory that awaits all ahead
Don't lose heart, comrades
It's over that hill
It's over that hill
The very next hill
Don't lose heart, comrades
It's over that hill
Paradise is just over that hill
As the miles compile
And the journey still seems perilously long
The best way to cope
When the end of your rope
Is not in your favor
Savor the flavor
Of the glory that awaits all ahead
Don't lose heart, comrades
It's over that hill
It's over that hill
The very next hill
Don't lose heart, comrades
It's over that hill
Paradise is just over that hill
Over the very next
Over the very next hill
