Oh, children, don't you weep,
If the road is long.
All of us are prayers of action,
On our way to God,
On our way to God.

Some of us are long and rambling,
Sometimes lost for years,
Some of us are small and holy,
Beautiful and clear.

Oh, children, don't you weep,
If the road is long.
All of us are prayers of action,
On our way to God,
On our way to God.
