With doubt and dismay you are smitten | |
You think there’s no chance for you, son? | |
Why, the best books haven’t been written | |
The best race hasn’t been run, | |
The best score hasn’t been made yet, | |
The best song hasn’t been sung, | |
The best tune hasn’t been played yet, | |
Cheer up, for the world is young! | |
No chance? Why the world is just eager | |
For things that you ought to create | |
Its store of true wealth is still meager | |
Its needs are incessant and great, | |
It yearns for more power and beauty | |
More laughter and love and romance, | |
More loyalty, labor and duty, | |
No chance — why there’s nothing but chance! | |
For the best verse hasn’t been rhymed yet, | |
The best house hasn’t been planned, | |
The highest peak hasn’t been climbed yet, | |
The mightiest rivers aren’t spanned, | |
Don’t worry and fret, faint hearted, | |
The chances have just begun, | |
For the Best jobs haven’t been started, | |
The Best work hasn’t been done. | |
