If you cannot on the ocean Sail among the swiftest fleet, Rocking on the highest billows, Laughing at the storms you meet
You can stand among the sailors, Anchored yet within the bay
You can lend a hand to help them As they launch their boats away If you are too weak to journey Up the mountain, steep and high You can stand within the valley While the multitudes go by
You can chant in happy measure As they slowly pass along
(though they may forget the singer, They will not forget the song)
