The Cruise of Destination

All aboard
The ship which draws near
To the shore of our hopes
On the land with no fear

Come one, come all!
To the ride of your life!
Every sister and brother 
Every husband and wife 

It's time to depart!
Although you may ask 
Where are we going?
Why so fast?

There's no time for questions 
Let alone answers that last
Just know that time's ticking
We must learn to take chance

Our destination is joy
Yet our voyage is masked
With hardship and struggle
The hardest of tasks

Yet we'll be awakened 
From that sea which blinds sight
When we reach our destination 
To the land with all light

And with one fine footprint 
On the white sand of gold
All creation will celebrate 
Even the youngest of olds 
For you had just boarded 
The ship to go home
And all that you'll offer
Is all that you've sown
