If while pursuing distant dreams

Your bright hopes turn to gray,

Don't wait for reassuring words

Or hands to lead the way.

For seldom will you find a soul

With dreams the same as yours.

Not often will another help you

Pass through untried doors.

If inner forces urge you

To take a course unknown,

Be ready to go all the way,

Yes, all the way alone.

That's not to say you shouldn't

Draw lessons from the best;

Just don't depend on lauding words

To spur you on your quest.

Find confidence within your heart

And let it be your guide.

Strive ever harder toward your dreams.

And they won't be denied
