Can't expect to touch the stars without paying your dues.

You'll never reach the point you seek until you circumvent the ruse

and shine deeper than deep within your mind

and speak words of truth to those you meet

about the destination that you seek.

And when the time has come at last (when the price is finally paid in full)

you'll calmly walk to your just deserts and remember none of

your many hurts.
