In the uncertain first steps
Of a treasure-seeking journey
Absent a clear sign
That marks the spot
Lean to the bright side
On the voyage to victory
When the winds roar
And the waves rise
Like monsters in the sea
Lean to the bright side
When fear looms large
Like an ominous flag
Adorned with crossbones
Among the clang of cutlasses
Lean to the bright side
When you’re marooned
On a desert isle
Far from home, family
And the comfort of a smile
Lean to the bright side
When the last ray
Of hope sets behind
The towering volcano
And darkness descends
Lean to the bright side
When the faint glow
Of hope rises like
A phoenix emerging
From a bed of ashes
Lean to the bright side
When once distant dreams
Deliver gifts at your feet
Breathe deeply, smile
Life is beautiful when you
Lean to the bright side
