| If up’s the word and the world grows greener, | |
| Minute by second and most by more. | |
| If death is the loser and life is the winner, | |
| And beggars are rich, but minstrels are poor. | |
| Let’s touch the sky, | |
| With a to and a fro and a hit there, where | |
| And away we go. | |
| And even the laziest creature among us | |
| A wisdom no knowledge can kill is astray. | |
| Now dull eyes are keen and now 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 this deep, deep rush | |
| Through amazing time. | |
| It’s brains without hearts have set saint against the sinner | |
| But the gain over gladness and joy and no 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 for | |
| And to far near blue. | |
| If beggars are rich and the robin will sing | |
| He’s robbing the song, but minstrels are poor. | |
| Let’s love until no one could quite be | |
| An young as the year is | |
| As living as | |
| I’m and as you. | |
| Let’s touch the sky, | |
| With a you and a me and an every who’s any, | |
| Who’s someone, who’s who. |
