Boldly
35395, Children's Songbook, Heritage, To Be a Pioneer, 218-19
1. You don't have to push a handcart,
Leave your fam'ly dear,
Or walk a thousand miles or more
To be a pioneer!
2. You do need to have great courage,
Faith to conquer fear,
And work with might for a cause that's right
To be a pioneer!
Optional descant
We are marching, ever marching.
We are marching, ever marching,
Marching onward, ever onward.
We are pioneers;
[1st time only]: we're marching.
