We carry heavy cares,
Like burdens on our back,
But joy the spirit shares,
If we but stay on track.
Like burdens on our back,
But joy the spirit shares,
If we but stay on track.
So let us cast them down,
And lift our heads up high,
And wear a joyful crown,
Beneath a smiling sky.
And lift our heads up high,
And wear a joyful crown,
Beneath a smiling sky.
