When the time is right
And you are ready
You’ll succeed beyond your wildest dreams.

Deep in a wretched chasm of despair
Struggling, struggling to get out
Out of there
Fallen down a well of no repair
Intimidating, dark down there.
Feel the walls
Feel their strength
They’ll help you climb back up
Into a life of freedom
Happiness, no despair.
Don’t dwell way down
Way down there
In that chasm, that well
Filled with hell
Way down there.
Bring yourself up, out
Feel the rays spreading out
Warming, bringing joy
Happiness all about
No pain.
No heartache there about
As we bask in the warmth
Of the sun, knowing
We’ll never fall back down
into that dark chasm
We’ll never, ever fall
ever at all.

Pachyderms heading south
Heading out
In a truck equipped
No doubt
With everything needed
To trek down south.
Bon Voyage!
Heading out
Not having to walk
Way down south to
A sanctuary
Heaven on earth I have
No doubt.
Too cold here
Should wear mittens
On your snout
Heading south
Yes, Pachyderms
Are heading out.

Travel far, travel away
Travel from all that’s desperate
Not good for you today.
Travel up, travel down
Make your pleasure
Be all around
Those you love so profound.
Enrich this your life
And be it found on
Travelling up or far away
Is your choice
On this and everyday.
