Going My Way

We're on a journey of exploration, a long-deferred vacation
   There's room for you too … Come with us, and your essence renew 

We've been so busy surviving, striving, never quite thriving
   It's time to live life large, hire a sea-worthy vessel, a sturdy barge

First it's off to Africa, to distant shores, hottest jungles and desert sands
   There to unearth unknown civilizations, man's oldest bones, in buried lands

Then we set sail for the Isle of Atlantis, with the help of a 'sea sherpa(nt),' who in Atlantis will plant us 
   We're sure to find this isle 20,000 leagues under the sea, with the help of 
   Jules Verne and Walt Disney

After that we'll blast off into Space, bidding adieu to terra firma's rat race
   We'll rocket past Saturn, Neptune, Uranus---and learn how our galaxy works 
   to sustain us...

When we return, we'll have stories to tell, a feature-length movie, a best-seller as well
   About our journey of exploration
       and how we managed it all
         ~ from the comfort of a virtual play-station
