Keep your chin up; Hold it High,
Do not moan. Do not sigh
For times are hard, a little sad,
But soon all will be better, all will be glad.
For this is life and it is the way.
Today is not good, but tomorrow is another day.

The sun could shine or the world could end.
You just be careful when you choose a bend.
The path to take, the way to go,
Anything could happen, you never know.
So keep your chin up high, smile strong.
Soon you'll find somewhere you belong.
