The Journey

Join me on this journey
Let me be your guide
Ignore all your fears
We’ll search for wisdom
I dare not offer freedom
In walking there is solace

An ultimate quest for solace
Mountains of our journey
Offer our feet true freedom
Let time be your guide
Rising sun bestows wisdom
Breathe out all your fears

We are halted by our fears
Your pain will convey solace
Your back will carry wisdom
As we take our final journey
Let the skies be your guide
We’ll expose truths of freedom

Together we’ll hunt for freedom
Feel the weight of our fears
Let the wind be your guide
Silent whispers of solace
Like a butterfly on its journey
We’ll grow wings of wisdom

Some never find wisdom
Only dream of finding freedom
If they only took the journey
We’d be liberated from all fears
With wind breathe in solace
Let knowledge be your guide

Let passion be your guide
In the pursuit for wisdom
Imagine life without solace
We may gamble our freedom
Each step reveals your fears
The brave takes the journey

Follow your guide towards freedom
New-found wisdom destroys all fears
Welcome the solace from our journey
