If I were to undertake an adventurous travel- x
With the quickly passing time- a
To discover the ancient or the imminent,- b
It would suit me just fine.- a
I might meet my illustrious ancestors -x
Or aliens of a different descent, -b
It would suit me just fine- a
To discover the ancient or the imminent. – b
I can learn to work with wood and stones- x
And communicate with sounds and signs -a
To discover the ancient or imminent, -b
It would suit me just fine. – a
I will spread wisdom wherever I go- x
And bring back good thoughts permanent, -b
It would suit me just fine – a
To discover the ancient or the imminent. -b
I am ready to face every challenge to win- x
Soar high on the wings of time- a
To discover the ancient or imminent- b
It would suit me just fine. -a
