Uphill All the Way

Is the road uphill all the way?
Yes, to the very end
Will the journey take the whole long day?
From morn to night my friend
And will there be a resting place?
A roof when the night begins
Will the darkness hide it from my face?
No you cannot miss that inn
Will I meet other travelers there?
Those who have come before
Will they hear me knocking?
They won’t leave you standing at that door
Will I find comfort, sore and weak?
Of work you shall find the sum
Are there beds for me and all who seek?
Yes, beds for all who come
But it’s uphill all the way
And the journey’s gonna take all day
And is there room at the table there?
All may come to dine
Perhaps a glass to ease our cares?
Good strong ale and wine
And will they take me as I am?
None get turned away
And is there mercy for the damned?
Forgiven is yesterday
But it’s uphill all the way
And the journey’s gonna take all day
Is the road uphill all the way?
Yes, to the very end
Will the journey take the whole long day?
From morn to night my friend
And will there be a resting place?
A roof when the night begins
Will the darkness hide it from my face?
No you cannot miss that inn
