For we cannot tarry here, We must continue, we must bear the brunt of danger, We, the youthful, all the others depend on us, Pioneers! O Pioneers! Have our elders halted? Do they droop and stop behind us? Now, we take up the burden and their lessons, Pioneers! O Pioneers! All the past we leave behind; We advance upon a newer, larger world, Fresh and strong, we seize the world ahead of us, Pioneers! O Pioneers!
