00:00:56.940 | Ralph's, fresh for everyone.
00:00:59.800 | When you're lost in the wild and you're scared as a child
00:01:03.740 | and death looks you bang in the eye,
00:01:06.600 | and you're sore as a boil,
00:01:08.400 | it's according to Hoyle to cock your revolver and die.
00:01:13.680 | But the code of a man says, "Fight all you can,"
00:01:18.220 | and self-dissolution is barred.
00:01:20.880 | In hunger and woe, it's easy to blow.
00:01:24.560 | It's the hell served for breakfast that's hard.
00:01:28.000 | You're sick of the game.
00:01:29.600 | Well, now, that's a shame.
00:01:31.660 | You're young and you're brave and you're bright.
00:01:35.400 | You've had a raw deal.
00:01:37.140 | I know, but don't squeal.
00:01:39.940 | Buck up, do your damnedest, and fight.
00:01:43.740 | It's the plugging away that will win you the day.
00:01:46.580 | So don't be a piker, old pard.
00:01:48.820 | Just draw on your grit.
00:01:50.720 | It's so easy to quit.
00:01:52.720 | It's the keeping your chin up that's hard.
00:01:56.060 | That's hard.
00:01:57.620 | It's easy to cry that you're beaten and die.
00:02:01.400 | It's easy to crawfish and crawl,
00:02:04.660 | but to fight and to fight when hope's out of sight,
00:02:08.500 | why, that's the best game of them all.
00:02:11.940 | And though you come out of each grueling bout,
00:02:15.040 | all broken and beaten and scarred,
00:02:17.980 | just have one more try.
00:02:19.780 | It's dead easy to die.
00:02:21.940 | It's the keeping on living that's hard.
00:02:26.440 | When you get what you want and you struggle for self
00:02:35.520 | and the world makes you king for a day,
00:02:38.060 | just go to the mirror and look at yourself
00:02:42.120 | and see what that man has to say.
00:02:44.100 | For it isn't your father or mother or wife
00:02:47.940 | whose judgment upon you must pass,
00:02:50.300 | the fellow whose verdict counts the most in your life
00:02:53.760 | is the one staring back from the glass.
00:02:57.340 | Some people may think you a straight shooting chum
00:03:01.280 | and call you a wonderful guy,
00:03:04.040 | but the guy in the glass says you're only a bum
00:03:07.520 | if you can't look him straight in the eye.
00:03:10.720 | He's the fellow to please, nevermind all the rest,
00:03:15.160 | for he's with you clear up to the end,
00:03:17.960 | and you've passed your most dangerous, difficult test
00:03:22.560 | if the man in the glass is your friend.
00:03:24.500 | You may fool the whole world down the pathway of life
00:03:29.300 | and get pats on the back as you pass,
00:03:32.300 | but your final reward will be heartaches and tears
00:03:36.040 | if you've cheated the man in the glass.
00:03:39.120 | 'Twas battered and scarred,
00:03:45.280 | and the auctioneer thought it scarcely worth his while
00:03:47.960 | to waste much time on the old violin,
00:03:49.820 | but he held it up with a smile.
00:03:52.820 | "What am I bidding, good folks?" he cried.
00:03:55.260 | "Who'll start the bidding for me?
00:03:57.140 | "A dollar, a dollar, then two, only two,
00:04:00.500 | "two dollars, and who'll make it three?
00:04:03.260 | "Three dollars once, three dollars twice,
00:04:07.000 | "going for three, but no."
00:04:09.780 | From the room far back, a gray-haired man
00:04:12.680 | came forward and picked up the bow.
00:04:15.180 | Then, wiping the dust from the old violin
00:04:18.880 | and tightening the loosened strings,
00:04:21.020 | he played a melody pure and sweet
00:04:23.540 | as a caroling angel sings.
00:04:26.400 | The music ceased, and the auctioneer,
00:04:29.180 | with a voice that was quiet and low, said,
00:04:33.600 | "What am I bid for the old violin?"
00:04:36.180 | And he held it up with the bow.
00:04:38.260 | "A thousand dollars, and who'll make it two?
00:04:40.760 | "Two thousand, and who'll make it three?
00:04:43.140 | "Three thousand once, three thousand twice,
00:04:46.220 | "and going and gone," said he.
00:04:49.160 | The people cheered, but some of them cried.
00:04:53.000 | "We do not quite understand.
00:04:54.560 | "What change it's worth?"
00:04:56.280 | Swift came the reply.
00:04:58.280 | "The touch of the master's hand."
00:05:01.000 | And many a man with life out of tune
00:05:04.680 | and battered and scarred with sin
00:05:07.320 | is auctioned cheap to the thoughtless crowd,
00:05:09.960 | much like the old violin.
00:05:12.400 | A mess of pottage, a glass of wine,
00:05:14.880 | a game, and he travels on.
00:05:17.120 | He is going once and going twice.
00:05:22.120 | He's going and almost gone.
00:05:25.600 | But the master comes, and the foolish crowd
00:05:28.200 | never can quite understand the worth of a soul
00:05:33.200 | and the change that is wrought
00:05:35.960 | by the touch of the master's hand.
