The Brilliant Adventurers of 2025

What does this world look like
Having wandered through mountains and rivers, just a dream
Those waves that cry out against the wind
How long, how long till they meet
Do adventurers ever feel sorrow
Who gathers their brilliant life at the end
That wish buried deep in the heart
How long, how long till it takes the stage

Covered in mud along the way, stumbling forward—that is me
Enduring the pain, never looking back—that is me
Let every twist in the road, every wound

Wash away my frailty
Turns out, only the tears swallowed back
Can drown the weakness within
You swear to be braver, embracing dreams your whole life
Do you still want to carry on
You must not retreat against the wind
Let brilliance make a home in your eyes
Don’t fear what the future holds
Betraying the gazes that once believed
As many ideals as there are, that many times they’ll be sung
The storms along the way
Are nothing more than this
With you by my side through it all

They say to cross the sands ahead, you must bow your head
They say to pass the winding river, you must go around
They say let go of what burns too hot, turn away when it’s too far
If no one approves, then it doesn’t count as yours
No one can decide how a life should be lived
No one can define what color the sky should be
No one understands without dreaming first, just simply believing
Heroes turning away from the light, every silhouette
Born from the silence of the ordinary

Covered in mud along the way, stumbling forward—that is me
Enduring the pain, never looking back—that is me
Let every twist in the road, every wound
Wash away my frailty

Turns out, only the tears swallowed back
Can drown the weakness within
You swear to be braver, embracing dreams your whole life
Do you still want to carry on
You must not retreat against the wind
Let the pain make a home in your eyes
Don’t fear what the future holds
Betraying the gazes that once believed
As many ideals as there are, that many times they’ll be sung
The storms along the way
Are nothing more than this
With you by my side through it all

Burn bright, don’t forget, forge ahead
The wind has risen, calling out—what are you waiting for
Wave goodbye, bid farewell—don’t look back with regret
Chase the dream within your heart
Only a life that leaves scars can say it truly lived
May you remember
May you have wept, unafraid of fragility
