HoGW Anniversary Special: We’ve come far, haven’t we?
We’ve come far, haven’t we?
A thousand steps and more it seems
T’wasn’t so long ago that
We started this journey
This trek that seemed so arduous at first
Well, we’re here now, aren’t we?
We’ve come far, haven’t we?
Far enough to leave them behind
The naysayers and ridiculers
Far enough that all fall aside
Even the doubts and fears
Far enough to be recognised
We’ve come far, haven’t we?
Far enough that our trail
Blazes through the uncharted lands
They know our names now,
They sing our songs, tell of our feats
They watch for what comes next
We seem to have come far, don’t we?
So far, so fast and yet not enough
There are miles ahead of us still
Unwalked valleys and unclimbed hills
There’s still glory to be had
Feats and deeds to accomplish
We seem to have come far, don’t we?
But we’ve only, slightly…
Barely scratched the surface
We aren’t Legends yet.
There are no fables that speak of us
No children who wish to be us
We seem to have come far, don’t we?
But not far enough to be proud
We have yet to fulfil our dreams
Yet to build legacies that will
Last for generations and ages
We have nothing but empty fame
We’ve got a long way ahead, do we not?
A long way till our dreams
Those fanciful things
Come alive in our waking moments
Far to go till we touch the horizon
Far yet till we become heroes
We’ve got a long way ahead, do we not?
And what comes next, is the hard part
The thing about climbing high is
There is a long way to fall
Our grip is going to have to be strong
And our spirits unrelenting
But we’ve come far, haven’t we?
I look around and get lost
So much has changed
The dream remains, though
It’s carried us this far,
And mayhaps, further still
The road ahead is long, isn’t it?
We’ve yet to cover a tenth
The journey might still be fraught with peril
But the best is yet to come
The deeds ahead will be glorious
And our feats beyond numbering
We’ve got far to go, that’s for sure!
But we’ll walk it just the same
Our gains are just starting to pour in
We mean to go further still
To push past our own boundaries
What we’ve started, we’ll finish
We will go far, won’t we?
That sky, we’ll surpass it
That land, we’ll conquer it
That ocean, we’ll sail it.
For as far as we might have come
We’re just getting started!
