The Great Adventure
-
Who are you that wander along this trail?
With such a lost and lonely look behind your eyes,
It is hard to believe that this life-to-you hasn’t failed.
You drag your feet through these mark-ed trials
And still you’re more lost than you had ever began.
Look at me, with those eyes so full of mistrust and glare,
Who hurt you with such a harsh hand
To give you a reason for that stare?
Come, off that beaten path you wander so alone,

The trek leader is trained for what we discover.
Long days on treed trail stretch into vast plains
Solid wagons and horses carry plenty of gear
Heading west seeking fortune staking new claims
Wagonmaster guides our journey nigh on a year.
Alien spaceships and meteors collide
Unfortunate explosions, an intergalactic race
Be sure to fly colors to clearly take a side
Or forever orbit…

I took my chance beneath the moon
Our eyes met
I felt myself sweat

I took a chance
Hoping to get a dance
She took my hand
A success I normally couldn’t land
We cut a rug for hours
For our next date I showed with flowers
Three years of love
My heart soars like a dove
We meet at the altar
There is no way I could falter
She is a sight
All dressed in white
Vows before family and friends
A love that will never end
Another year joy
We welcome our baby boy
Together with my wife
We built a…
