Desires of a spirit
Are tremendously vast
They can be anything

To climb to the top of the world
Visit places hidden
Breathtaking views
Discover new treasures
Going to countries far and wide

Or living a simple life
Perfectly happy and content

Find what your spirit desires
You may not even realize
That it has been in front of you
the whole time.

Roads untraveled
Do not be sad
For what wasn't meant to be

Pain
Heartache
Loss

These things must be overcome
Do not turn back
Hold your head high

Look ahead
There is a friend
To guide you through
The roads meant to be traveled

She has such fire in her eyes
Knows what needs to be done
It will be conquered
Day by day she progresses
Honor, strength and courage
These are her core values
A passionate fighter
Empathetic human being
Lives each day like it's her last

She questions the world
Hoping to uncover mysteries

To join something that unites
A brother and sisterhood
Together for eight grueling weeks
Learning to work together
To fight side by side
Gain the experience
That can save each others life

At first we felt and seemed hopeless
Homesick and lost
Feeling all alone
Days went on
Days turned into weeks
Finally like a light switch
Everything started to make sense

We came together as a division
We came together as a ship
We came together at the command

We can begin to understand
The meaning behind being a United States Sailor
Ready to go to war
Ready to make peace
Ready to save lives

What our forefathers taught us
Fought and died for
We are proud to serve
This great nation
The United States of America

You gaze into her eyes
Not knowing what you'll find

Fiery passion
Love everlasting
Wonders of the universe
Sadness for the world
Pain for the poor
Anger for the rich

You gaze into her eyes
Not knowing what you'll find

So much love to give
A soul that wants to live
Stare into her eyes
You will be mesmerized

Her mind is full of wonder
With so much to ponder
Wants to explore the world
To the places unheard

Memories to be had
And when she meets a lad
She gives him all her love
In a way undreamed of

Her heart is a deep ocean
With harmonic motion
Truly a mystery
Her love will go down in history

As it goes on, it is not noticed
Things that were seen
People that were met
Mysteries uncovered

The seasons change
And the days go on
How it flew by

As it goes on, it is not noticed
That I have lived a lifetime
