That's The Way

Just a little every day—

That's the way!

Seeds in darkness swell and grow,

Tiny blades push through the snow;

Never any flower of May

Leaps to blossom in a burst,

Slowly, slowly, as the first,

That's the way.

Just a little every day.

Just a little every day—

That's the way,

Children learn to read and write

Bit by bit and mite by mite,

Never any one I say

Leaps to knowledge and its power;

Slowly, slowly, hour by hour,

That's the way!

Just a little every day.
