lyrics

I crossed over the widest river, with land too far behind
To leave this stable place for us and see what I could find
When I get caught too far from home, I look up to the sky
It might be worse if I succeed but its better if I try

I gazed upon a burning bush of elemental fire
it said “do just what you have to do son to keep yourself inspired
maybe you can ride this flame, but don’t get caught too high
It might be worse if you succeed but its better if you try.”

I came upon the tallest hill, too difficult to climb
It had so many different paths, but none of them lived in my mind
a voice from up on high exclaimed “if you turn back now you’ll die”
the air gets thin as you reach the top, and the rest get left behind
it might be worse if you succeed, but its better if you try.
