The way is laid bear,
Ready with challenge.
Barriers overcome propelling us,
Grasping toward things
We'dn't dare dream.
Our hopes suffer asphyxiation.
They, fallen victim to fear, fight.
Verve, the mettle which endures them,
We find with reckless abandon.
Joy, a faint echo 'midst a suffered landscape,
We chase toward every precipice.
Hesitating, halted by inhibition,
There, we struggle with ourselves.
Courage, failing our intents,
Leaves emptiness we've not known.
Annihilation, utter and complete,
Compels fervent desperation,
Inspiring our valor.
And valorous we are.
We, youthful sinewy races,
Surging atop shoulders of giants,
Reach ever more magnanimous means.
Hands that offer help,
Arms that extend open,
Ideas that bound tenaciously,
We resolve, persist, and rise.
