Someone will climb life’s rug­ged hills;
Someone God’s pur­pose will ful­fill;
Someone will ut­ter wis­dom’s code;
Someone will soft­en sor­row’s road.

Refrain

Why not, why not?
Why not my tongue the Gos­pel preach?
Why not my thoughts with wis­dom shine?
Why not the Christ­like life be mine?

Someone will sing the heart’s glad song;
Someone will help the weak along;
Someone will light the night of gloom;
Someone will cheer the sick one’s room.

Refrain

Someone will guide the lit­tle feet;
Someone the ag­ed with kind­ness greet;
Someone will love’s sweet balm im­part,
Blessing the lone­ly, dy­ing heart.
