♪♪♪ SING ALONG ♪♪♪ as a piano plays the chords and melody (from the SOLO Edition of the Secular Hymnal). Singing along to a simple, chorded melody like this is an ideal way to develop your harmonizing skills!

Lyrics:

In the end, where will we be?
In a villa by the sea?
In a snowy mountain chalet?
On an island far away?

But the statistics say it ain't so
And the statistics say we won't go
And the statistics make it clear
That in the end, we will be here

So let's make this the best it can be
Good as a villa by the sea
Good as a snow mountain chalet
Good as an island far away

Keepingi our neighbors free from fear
Keeping our air and water clear
And our kids smiling ear to ear
'Cuz in the end, we will be here
