Onward

Karl A. Shiffer 1965

Onward, onward through life’s storm
Searching for our sunny shore
Onward onward flying high through a dark and stormy sky, always searching for our sunny shore.
We may not see it now, flying through the stormy clouds
We know it’s there, we’ve seen it before
So onward onward through life’s storm
For storms may come and storms may go,
We’ll always have our sunny shore
So onward onward through life’s storm
