To Be a Pioneer

Children’s Songbook (1989, 2017), p. 218

Arranger: Vanja Y. Watkins

1. You don’t have to push a handcart, Leave your fam’ly dear, Or walk a thousand miles or more To be a pioneer!

2. You do need to have great courage, Faith to conquer fear, And work with might for a cause that’s right To be a pioneer!
