I choose to live for a world unknown
Though the world that I see still beckons to me
The glamour, the glitz, the style and the ritz
Appeal to something that roils in my soul
And part of me howls to grab it all now, but

I once faced a mountain as I meandered along
(Though now I know the mountain faced me!)
That mountain arose from the depths of the ocean
“Despair” was the name of that sea
