lyrics

STRUGGLING ON

In the Chapel where we pray,
We give thanks for every day
That we live and earn our pay,
Stay alive, stay alive.
In the morning, down the mine,
When they’re blasting time on time,
You’re doing mighty fine
To stay alive, stay alive.

CHORUS
Struggling on, struggling on,
Singing life’s sweet song.
Struggling on, struggling on,
We’re living life’s sweet song.

In the Chapel where we learn
To sacrifice and earn,
For a better life we yearn
In Kingdom come, in Kingdom come.
At the ending of the day
When the wagons role away
And your in fresh air you say,
“I’ve survived. I’ve survived.”
CHORUS

In the beerhouse where we drink,
That’s our time to think,
Forget we’re living on the brink
Of Kingdom come, Kingdom come.
In the candle dark and heat
There’s only grit to eat
And some men that you meet
Don’t stay alive, stay alive.
CHORUS
In the beerhouse on a night
We keep our honour bright
Singing hymns with all our might.
We come alive, come alive.
We know our Saviour on high,
Though our maisters lie and lie,
Will save us though we die;
Our spirits will survive, will survive.

Struggling on, struggling on,
Singing life’s sweet song.
Struggling on, struggling on,
We’re living life’s sweet song.
