I have listened to your warnings
That I am skating on thin ice
I have taken notice of your intentions
More than once or twice
I have heeded what you have told me
With one more throw of the dice
I have a mission to accomplish
Thought to you it would not be wise
I have to take this treacherous route
Though the stones be covered by moss
I have to walk this pathway now
Even as I be abused and bossed
I have the whole of you at heart
As I carry this naked cross
I have to see this through to the end
Or all I stand for will be lost
I have to cross the sand dune desert
Scorched by day and cold by night
I have to trek the snow capped peaks
Be I frozen or tormented by frostbite
I have to endure the humid rainforest
Plagued by every insect bite
I have to bring this message to you
For your progression into the light
