Rarely do we meet the need to try
Reaching into shadow from the light
Chances we should never let go by
To meet the monster hiding in the night

By any means we're trying to derive
A destination we can all define
To fill us with a sense that we'll arrive
Through steady plans we're looking to refine

My ambitions never allow
For me to stray from what I vow
Nothing to distract from all I aim to be
The realisation I'm in control of all that is front of me

We're told that all we ever have is now
And each and every moment is complete
I'm less convinced I still wonder how
For some, mere existence is a feat

Let's hold belief nothing good comes for free
And effort must be met by some reward
If in the end there is nothing to see
Perhaps then we'll reflect and applaud

My ambitions never allow
For me to stray what I vow
The never ending search for all I aim to be
The realisation I'm in control of all that is front of me.
