Lyrics:

Onward, upward here we go, off to build new roads
Roads strong and smooth to carry heavy loads

Roads to freedom, roads to peace, peace for ev'ryone
Working, working, working, working, working 'til we're done

Onward, upward here we go, roads through ev'ry wall
Working for a world, a world that works for all
