Please help me find this song

I don't know the the artist or song title but I know some of the lyrics;

It starts off

"In all the days of danger,
disaster and distress..."

can't remember the next bit but I know the word that the artist rhyms with distress is unhappiness and then the chorus goes:

"You gotta keep on goin',
reapin' and sowin',
You gotta keep on giving,
loving and living."

Theres more to the chorus I think but this is all I can remember. Its an old hippy song from either the 60's or the 70's I can remember bits of it but I can't remember any large chunks of the song and its driving me crazy can someone please help?

If its any use theres also a bit about birds and trees and bees in a hive.

My wild guess is "Gotta Keep on Going" by Johnny Wakelin

No, I was not successful in finding a sample or lyrics. The song was recorded in the right period so you could take a chance and buy one of his albums from a website (~$10?).

Here's more info on Johnny Wakelin. There's a contact tab if you want to try it.
