The road is long and hard and the journey never ends
F C E7
You don’t know where you’re going, but you know you must begin
F C D
You know you’ll find some troubles and some helps along the way
F G D

C Em7 Am
But as to why you’re going, who can say
C D
Making headway, Making headway
F G Em7 Am
Though we’re running ‘gainst the tide we’re making headway
Take it as its comes, or latch upon a thought
You don’t know if you’re learning, or what you have been taught
Or if you’ll be frustrated, or if you’ll find a way

Some people will turn back and others will be lost
Nothing ever comes to those who fear to pay the cost
Play it to fulfillment, tread the fearless way
But as to where you’re going, who can say
