This is a tough time, awaiting our fears.

But believe me, these are the best years.

Just hold onto everything you dear,

You're good in every way, let it be clear.


The sun's beating down hard tirelessly.

Today, is it the middle of summer already?

How am I supposed to live and walk steady?

Must I do no respite and work diligently?


My totally normal life is ending peace.

How could a plot twist be working like this?

Never passed a year without hardships and thrills.

Now I'm stuck on this undoubtingly high hills.


I am crying, but not from loneliness or a lack of

Because I'm already flying away without backing off.

I want you to know, because I already know my track.

Here I am, one step closer to my blessing and luck.


My calling is what I feel, and courage is all that's left.

If I keep moving, then I'll be closer with each step.

Just a little bit, and all will end with the smile I always kept.

Ending journey to begin the dream that gives life depth.
