there's no earthly way of knowing,
which direction we are going.
there's no knowing where we're rowing
or which way the river's flowing.
is it raining? is it snowing?
is a hurricane a-blowing?
not a speck of light is showing,
so the danger must be growing.
are the fires of hell a glowing?
is the grisly reaper mowing?!
yes! the danger must be growing,
for the rowers keep on rowing.
and they're certainly not showing...
any signs that they are? slowing!
