-------------------------...............
 I have journeyed,
 End-less miles.
 Seen many harbours,  where I  took rest  a while.
 On this boat called,  "near and far".
 To be what you  must, you must give  up what  you are.
 Only a wind of hope, my heart  said,
 Braving mystic oceans to ar-rive.
 Those who do not leave  and choose to stay,
 Many sur-vive.
 Be you dust, or be you  a star.
 To be what  you must,  just reach out  for what  you are.
 And though you travel, ma-ny roads.
 There's but one  way and that's...the one...you chose.
 (with La's)
