Boys and girls, where'er you go,
Make the world grow brighter;
Banish fear and lessen woe--
Make the world grow brighter,
Always have a smile to spare
For the heart made sad by care;
Scatter sunshine ev'rywhere--
Make the world grow brighter.

Words of hope and comfort speak--
Make the world grow brighter;
Share the burdens of the weak--
Make the world grow brighter,
Cheer, encourage and advise,
Banish tears from weeping eyes,
Help the fallen one to rise--
Make the world grow brighter.

Help the lives that strive in vain--
Make the world grow brighter;
Lessen sin and strife and pain--
Make the world grow brighter,
All along life's dreary way,
Nobly do whate'er you may
Ev'ry moment of the day,
Make the world grow brighter.
