The journey is long and unforgiving.
The road is rough and rugged.
The life is hard, but joyous.
The tale is new and just begun.
Our hearts are happy and carefree.
Our minds are sharp and ready for the morn.
Our hands are clean and born again.
The tale is new and just begun.
The work is hard, but invigorating.
The job is bravely met and completed.
The success is hard one and brings pride.
The tale is familiar now that our lives have been lived.
The journey was long and unforgiving.
The road was rough and rugged.
The life was hard, still joyous.
The tale done, we set off to another dawn.
