New Pasture

Test opportunity to see the other side
Will it be greener field or slightly strangely same
Adoring new culture or just a change in name
As life brings about fame for those willing to ride

Go forth on adventure and see the wild terrain
Surrender to yourself of the guilty pleasures
Escape into wildness past the well-known measures
And challenge status-quo to your smartest champagne

Don't ever look backwards with any self regrets
Cause the curse of cruising through the savage deadlines
Way past the midnight's moon to some personal fines

Love yourself, love truly, make it about your bets
In your skills, in your moods, life has to have meaning
Work is temporary, so go towards greening
