ASTRIDE
ARMED
AHEAD
ALERT
ABROAD
ASCENDING
ALIVE
AT LAST
Astride the path that calls us
Armed with nothing but courage
Ahead lies the unknown horizon
Alert to every shifting wind
Abroad in lands that test our spirit
Ascending cliffs of doubt and wonder
Alive in the rush of discovery
At last we find who we are becoming
