Potential terrains will try to deter you
Rise above those hazardous fires
Just guide your way through
The journey is never easy
Darkness may rear its ugly head
Strike with a tender force
And go with the flow instead

As you travel through the labyrinth
Obstacles will try to deter you
Just rise above them all
And let the sun shine right through
Stay on course respectfully
Have the proper decorum
Put your heart into everything
Set standards high and have fun

As you walk along your path
Always think positive thoughts
Be willing to lift yourself and others up
In order to reach the top
You may face those troubled waters
Adjust those sails
Let the battle build you
So that you can prevail
