The quest

Go my friend,

See the world.

Soar high in the sky,

Burn yourself with the sun,

Drape the silver moon around,

And shine with the evening star.

Go my friend,

See the world.

Walk down the scorching desert,

Quenching your thirst for the unknown,

Endure the coldest night too,

Standing bravely with the mountain tall.

Go my friend,

See the world.

Sail with the furious waves,

In the high seas of a stormy noon,

Take a dip in the deep blue ocean,

Gathering timeless wisdom and wealth.

Go my friend,

See the world,

Become a star,

Strong,

And wise.

Search for all,

That you must know,

High up,

And deep below.

And that day,

When you finally find,

Your true self,

Come back,

Come to me,

In my arms to rest.
