awakening

we reach the moment of total decision
our hopes are frozen all is now in place
we have no time for anger nor derision
we reach the moment of total decision

the world requires simplicity of vision
the loser now may one day win the race
we reach the moment of total decision
our hopes are frozen all is now in place

a tiny revelation

we measure honesty in drops of sweat
the power to do all things is in our hands
nothing we do allows us to forget
we measure honesty in drops of sweat

don't be afraid of getting soaking wet
there's nothing better for you as it stands
we measure honesty in drops of sweat
the power to do all things is in our hands

The expedition

We're, all of us, set on the Way
to find the truth within each heart,
our hope is simple: none may depart
until they've seen an honest day
or had a chance to hunt and slay
the monster, with a rapid dart,
and then to cleave its soul apart
and find within the bloody spray.
Let each of us swear by the light
that we will make this journey soon
and not delay until the dark;
we will not pause, nor day, nor night,
we'll press on even at the noon
and leave at last our simple mark.

da capo

let us begin with a small kind of star
the end we know is not a different fact
we need to show a little bit of tact

to our desires there is no simple bar
with agony we never will be racked
let us begin with a small kind of star

no destination can be held too far
our luggage has been neatly stacked
and we are ready with our standard act
let us begin with a small kind of star
