NaviGATEway
















Settle down; come on.
Let it be; move on.
Hoist your sails: time to depart.
New day, new journey—take heart!
Waves are beckoning; heed them. Sail on!

Never mind the past;
Can't relive the past.
Feel free to leave it behind;
Let it go; seek and you'll find.
Press on, sailor, now; leeward at last.

When you recall it
Call it a blessing in disguise.
No needless stalling;
Follow the sun with cloudless eyes.
Take a chance;
You won't know till you've tried.
Steady, now;
Let the wind be your guide.

What was it all for?
Never mind, now; ignore
The guilt-trip revolving door
The unfair, unsettled score.
See yourself dancing on a distant shore!

If you play the blame game,
You will fan a dark flame
That'll reel you into regret.
Oh, it's time to forgive and forget.
Living in the past is a downright shame.

When you recall it
Call it a blessing in disguise.
No needless stalling;
Follow the sun with cloudless eyes.
Take a chance;
You won't know till you've tried.
Steady, now;
Let the wind be your guide.

What have you got to lose
By jettisoning your blues?
Time to navigate into
An uncharted point of view.
Can you envision it? It's a brand new day.
Sail on boldly into a naviGATEway!

When you recall it,
Call it a blessing in disguise.
No needless stalling;
Follow the sun with cloudless eyes.
Take a chance;
You won't know till you've tried.
Steady, now;
Let the wind be your guide.
Steady, now;
Let the wind be your guide.
