At The End Of The Road
Concert Level 1: Mostly unison movement and acting, technically easy to learn.
This Irving Berlin hidden gem is a song that holds an important place in black history--it was written for "Hallelujah", the first film featuring an all black cast, and first recorded by Ethel Waters, an early pioneer for African American women in the arts. The lyrical message presents an optimistic view of life as a journey through hardship with hope as a light guiding you towards your reward at the end of the road. The chart features a treble soloist, easy-to-learn jazz harmonies, and a swingin' big finish that hits hard!

The way is long The night is dark But I don't mind 'Cause a happy lark will be Singing at the end of the road I can't go wrong I must go right I'll find my way 'Cause a guiding light will be Shining at the end of the road There may be thorns in my path But I'll wear a smile 'Cause in a little while My path will be roses So even if a little rain may fall From up above But I won't stop 'Cause the one I love will be Waiting at the end of the road Waiting at the end of the road You'll be waiting at the end of the road Waiting at the end of the road I know you will be And there may be some thorns in my path But I'll wear a smile 'Cause in a little while My path will be roses I know that the rain may fall From up above But I won't stop Because the one I love At the end of the road they'll be waiting The one I love will be Waiting at the end of the road (Irving Berlin)
