The Path

Freedom! Break the chains 

Lift up your hearts, now 

you're living again 

Now is the time to break the 

chains 

It feels so good to be giving 

again 

Ever more free from fear, 

Walking in the path. 

There are those who build a path, and those who tear it down. 

There are those who continue to walk a path, and those who stray from it.

 I wish to be a person who forges a path; a person who persists in walking a path.

No matter what; until the end, I will keep walking, keep running.

Even if I should fall along the way, and return to the dust of the land, 

because I believe in the youth who will succeed me along this path, 

I will have not a single regret.
