If you let me explore the world, I will bring back a gift to you.
I will bring back the rarest jewel, most difficult to acquire.
I will bring back the aesthetics of water and fire.
Docile as a child, I will search for my heart's desire,
not knowing what lies there prior.
If you let me explore the world, I will come back empty-handed.
I traveled the world to realize the thing I took for granted.
In searching for my heart's desire, not knowing what lies there prior,
the power of aesthetics, of water and fire,
the rarest jewel most difficult to acquire...
You let me explore the world
to find the rarest jewel, my heart's desire,
and I did.
