Step by step, ever onward,
Sing a song of joy untold.
This life, a gift to your nation,
Let its essence be bestowed.

Step by step, ever onward,

Pour it out for all to see.

The journey hard, the path unclear,
Yet what is hardship to a brave heart?
The journey hard, the path unclear,
What is hardship to the one who’s smart?

This life, a gift to your nation,
Let its essence be your form.
