THE PATH OF LIFE



THE PATH OF LIFE

New Orleans Dixieland Jass

Words by Kate Watkins Furman

Music by J. Roel Lungay

Arranged and performed by Fr. J. Roel Lungay

1
When walking down the path of life
Remember what I say
That every man must feel the thorns
That grow along the way.

Refrain:
[Yes/And], every soul will stumble
For every man is weak
And the road of life uncertain;
It's prospects often bleak.

2
But always give a helping hand:
A word of love, a smile
To help the soul beside you walk
Across each weary mile.

(Repeat Refrain)

3
For love will cause the sun to shine
And everywhere you go
The painful thorns less noticed
As the roses bloom and grow.

(Repeat Refrain 2x)

Coda:
It's prospects often bleak!
