The Call to Adventure

from The Hero's Journey by Beth Kinderman

/

about

"Whether small or great, and no matter what the stage or grade of life, the call rings up the curtain, always, on a mystery of transfiguration--a rite, or moment, of spiritual passage, which, when complete, amounts to a dying and a birth. The familiar life horizon has been outgrown; the old concepts, ideals, and emotional patterns no longer fit; the time for the passing of a threshold is at hand." - Joseph Campbell, The Hero With A Thousand Faces

lyrics

so wake up, wake up.
you have been waiting for a chance to find you
so at the moment that one comes to bind you
stand up, stand up.
cause you can face it or it can befall you
but either way now it has come to call you
wake up, wake up.

so walk your path in your own shoes
send off what you stand to lose
cause you can let it be
or let your destiny
become the one you choose

so when the herald calls your name
answer with no doubt or shame
unsure of what you bring
but knowing that no thing
can ever stay the same

so now that it has come to this
hesitate & reminisce
are you afraid of death?
or just that what comes next
could be the road to bliss?
