But what really is adventure?
It’s walking through my wildest dreams
Running through wide open spaces with wind blowing across my face
Defeating everybody’s expectations
Doing something every day that scares me.
Running away from home, not knowing where I’m heading
To prove everyone who says its impossible wrong
Adventure can’t be planed, but simply lived
I never have and I never will doubt an adventure because now I truly know what it is to be free.
