River, listen to my words. Hold them close.
Your fear is needless, overblown,
your journey’s ceaseless, neverending,
lacking hope and direction.
Your fear is needless, overblown
to the point of despair. But despair is not for you.
Stay strong, my seeker after truth.
Your journey’s ceaseless, neverending,
and vast as the void. Now, without a goal in sight, you must
fight on, my wary wanderer.
Lacking hope and direction
it can be tempting to lie down and give in, but I tell you:
Get up, stay strong, fight on!
