Brave spirit, brave the line
Between present and future,
You’ll be just fine -
Braving the new is human nature.

Imagine a world turned around
Where the servant becomes the master
And those who were bound
Now run ahead, moving ever faster.

A time where crime is shamed
And virtue claims the highest rewards
And you won’t be blamed
For honest mistakes moving forward.

This future is yours to imagine
Yours to embody, yours to achieve
And it starts crystallizing
Today with the way you live.
