Muscles hit their limits on roads of ambition
The nobility heard flows in songs of vision
Within great needs for wealth, goal's plated for
auction
Means won't be held yet yields an equation
Some often moved in chains from poverty's
sanctions
Unacknowledged if seen, sacrificed exhaustions
Sparks of darkness emerged, ignored by the
mission
Adding joy to their lives is work's satisfaction
Awaits them are blankets made from threads of
passion
Embraced chances gave lamps enlightening each
tension
Walls were broken by things that caused rock's
diffusion
Adding joy to their lives is work's satisfaction
Carriage pulled to welfare of tenderfoot's
fortune
In battles they land on, minds cling to one
reason
The thought in parents' love gave strength
beyond season
Borrowed force' is paid soon with scenes of
progression
Unanchored were their feet in employment's
motion
Motives have entered deeds in every decision
Yet each ends down the path to one certain
region
The work chosen would sum into life's completion
