If the dark shadows gather as you go along,
Do not grieve for their coming; sing a cheery
song.
There is joy for the taking; it will soon be
light.
Ev’ry cloud wears a rainbow if your heart keeps
right.
Refrain
If your heart keeps right,
If your heart keeps right,
There’s a song of gladness in the darkest night.
If your heart keeps right,
If your heart keeps right,
Ev’ry cloud will wear a rainbow,
If your heart keeps right.
Is your life just a tangle full of toil and
care?
Smile a bit as you journey, others’ burdens share.
You’ll forget all your troubles, making their
lives bright.
Skies will grow blue and sunny, if your heart
keeps right.
Refrain
There are blossoms of gladness, ’neath the
winter’s snow.
From the gloom and the darkness come the morning
glow.
Never give up the battle, you will win the fight;
Gain the rest of the Victor, if your heart keeps
right.
Refrain
