Full Speed Ahead
Yet .mountains more we must climb
Peaks to pick, never to decline
Doing otherwise depresses the mind
Those demons of fear, we must bind
Full speed ahead; never deaf or blind
And we dare not weep or whine
Change hates to wait; now is the time
Fix broken pieces; it's half past nine
Whatever is missing, we must find
There' s still time to get in line
Midnight is not your friend nor mine
Today we must toil; tomorrow we dine
Today is cloudy; tomorrow is sunshine
So, let's wipe away tears of defeat
Every drop that renders us weak
And we will reach the heights we seek
The word is out, having already been said
There' s no turning back; full speed ahead
