The Great Adventure

What great adventures lay beyond
This world that we can see
One step outside this world we take
When death to us comes near

We should not with fright greet
The harbinger of death
But gladly embrace all he brings
On this brand new journey begin

I cannot tell you what we'll find
For none have yet returned
But surely better than what is here
Of that I am assured

So come with me and join this toast
For there will be a brand new day
My life I count in hours now
So celebrate with me
