OUR JOURNEY COUNTS BETTER
Towards our long uncertain odyssey Against the unfathomable sea we set No matter what lies ahead No matter what lies beneath Unfurl your sail with courage Trust the wind if the ocean waves Are uneasy to manage Across the distant shore, nakama Will be the end of all the drama The wind will grow calmer Our hopes ‘gain will spark and shimmer The Grand Line awaits our advent For a new voyage that blows a Kiss to the present We’ll bid hello then To the birth of new billows To a stormy gale and a giant whale We may run out of ale And our visage grows pale Regardless if the ship we aboard Be anyhow destroyed and wrecked. . . Or if our hope is prevailed over by our crosses The precious bond and journey Counts better than our losses.
