Explorers Of The Heart

Through the mud and quicksand

Through the undergrowth and vines

We hacked our way along

We had to crawl, we had to climb

Just what was it that pulled us?

It was not riches, nor was it glory

It was affection, and when we found it

It was sublime

We searched both high and low for what we found in each others’ arms, dear

We quested far and wide, while never knowing that it was so near

Now we are explorers of the heart

Trekking over sand dunes

We braved the heat of desert suns

Knowing that we’d rest, at last

only when we were done

What thing was it that drew us

Out of our homes and onwards and upwards

It was affection, and when we found it,

It was sublime

We searched both high and low for what we found in each others’ arms, dear

We quested far and wide, while never knowing that it was so near

Now there is one place left for us to conquer, one more frontier

Now we are explorers of the heart

In the ocean deep

On the mountain high

In the valley low

Across the river wide

Is where we found it

Climbing over glaciers

Up from the fjords and over ice

Trudging through the snow banks

Relentlessness our only vice

Just what was it that pulled us

Out of our homes and onwards and upwards

It was affection, and when we found it,

It was sublime

We searched both high and low for what we found in each others’ arms, dear

We quested far and wide, while never knowing that it was so near

Now there is one place left for us to conquer, one more frontier

There is no turning back, forget your doubts and ignore your fears

Now we are explorers of the heart

Now we are explorers of the heart

Now we are explorers of the heart
