Life’s ambition it’s all around
Nature engulfs and surrounds
Free yourself and go be bold
Into the wild, where it takes hold
The world corrupts, its greedy want
The wild voices its eerie taunts
Take the path that you choose best
Where there is desire, there’s always a test
Where there is light, there is always dark
Where there is life, death makes its mark
Choose to let go, and go live on
Live free, to never be a pawn
For when you do this it will be clear
Life’s clarity for all to hear
The sounds they prosper
From the dying monster
It’s your time now
As life as let out its last growl
Tranquility, the time has come
It’s you and one peaceful hum
