Breathe easy, friend, and stay a while here
For time wasted with friends is no mistake
Through endless space we’ll travel to be near
Let hands in hands help to abate the ache
Though life is hard and hardly ever fair
And inevitable death may seem too bleak
A promise kept is never empty air
For us I’ll find my voice and words to speak
A leader serves the family, he marches from behind
A family is stronger than the demons in my mind
Pidge
Faster now and more our knowledge grows
Our goal is almost here with my reach
As we connect and information flows
I’ll find out what the universe will teach
And though I hurry into every trial
To gather my experience as sum
You show me how to sit and stay a while
And look back just to see how far we’ve come
Our bonds are more than blood or what is written in our code
Stay with me and walk, not run, down this eternal road

Adventure calls us forth to travel far
It beckons us to leave our earth and roam
And after we’ve seen every shining star
There’ll never be a better sight than home
When we have greeted new and untold life
And shrunk our universe with all we’ve met
When we have ended greed and war and strife
We’ll mourn our loss and settle down to rest
I promise as our journey slowly dwindles to an end
That evermore we shall remain as family and friends
Hunk
I follow as you lift me off the ground
And hold myself to set aside my fear
I pray we all return both safe and sound
Though I am not as brave as I appear
Admittedly still swayed by words and charm
I defend the ones I hold most dear
And watch us all to keep us safe from harm
I’ll gladly stay the last and hold the rear
With valiant hearts and patient hands, we practice what we know
With sturdy legs we amble forth, and steady as we go
Keith
Straight unto the naked fire we delve
Once more unto the molten shrapnel breach
With blade and fist we court the pits of hell
And taunt the gates of heaven with our speech
To miss a chance would break a burning heart
And daily breaks do shake my fragile being
Steady, friend, so I don’t come apart
And give me over to new ways of seeing
Let time and wisdom cool my ways to think
Let gentler hands not write my blood as ink
