Crucial.
It is crucial that I love you and my life
Crucial will suffice.

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.

Feel the memories
Sing their song.

Travelling down a no return road
Going forward pass signs
On this winding, bending road
That tell me what’s ahead
Sometimes full of anticipation
Sometimes only dread.
Going forward
Not looking back
Not using a rearview mirror
To see behind
There’s no use in using that.
On the side of this my road
I’m passing beauty there
Just up to me to behold.
My salvation
May be at the end
Of this my own long road
But the journey to that place
Is up to me to unfold.

My benefactor does not know
What has happened.
And where I go
My benefactor does not know.
