Tekst Utworu

As you journey towards Ithaka
Pray your path last a lifetime
Full with experience and excitement
Laistrygonians and Cyclops
Wrathful Poseidon
Please say you'll fear them not
You'll never meet them looming on your path
As long as you let your mind soar far
If you keep your zest, and it flow through your soul and your body
As long as you let your mind soar far
If you keep your zest, and it flow through your soul and your body
Laistrygonians and Cyclops
Wave-Wild Poseidon
Your path will not cross theirs
Unless they hitch a ride in your heart
Unless your spirit calls upon them to travel with you
Pray your path last this lifetime
And may there be plenty a dawn in summer when
You harbor great zeal
As you sail into ports as a novice
And hopeyou dock at Phoenician market places
To trade for rare goods
Mother of pearland coral, amber and ebony
Perfumes and oils -- scents so fine
As many elixirs as your coin can buy
And hope you stop by Egyptian libraries
To stay and be a scholar for a time
HoldIthaka ever in your eye
Sailing home is your true destiny
Yet do not hasten the voyage at all
May your quests afar last a world's age
So that when grown old you do make your way back
You are wealthy with what you've learned through the years
Not needing Ithaka to make you so
For Ithaka gave you thegift of Adventure
Without her, you would not have left Home
She can give you nothing more
And if you find her too humble, the Isle will not have betrayed you
Sage as you will have so grown
Sage as you will have so grown
Rich with memories so vivid
You will have learned -- at last -- what such Ithakas mean
Sage as you will have so grown
Rich with memories so vivid
You will have learned -- at last -- what such Ithakas mean
Sage as you will have so grown
Rich with memories so vivid
You will have learned -- at last -- what such Ithakas mean
You will have learned -- at last -- what such Ithakas mean
You will have learned -- at last -- what such Ithakas mean
