To my son Stefan - you showed your parents what you are truly made of by courageously choosing to audition. We applaud your effort and we are inspired by your action. History will judge us all not merely by the wins and losses we endured but by the opportunities we simply refused to not let pass us by.

Life, so they say 

Is but a game and they'd let it slip away 

Love, like the autumn sun 

Should be dyin' but it's only just begun 

Like the twilight in the road up ahead 

They don't see just where we're goin' 

And all the secrets in the universe 

Whisper in our ears 

All the years that come and go 

Take us up, always up 

We may never pass this way again 

Dreams, so they say 

Are for the fools and they let 'em drift away 

Peace, like the silent dove 

Should be flyin' but it's only just begun 

Like Columbus in the olden days 

We must gather all our courage 

Sail our ships out on the open seas 

Cast away our fears and 

All the years that come and go 

Take us up, always up 

(So) I wanna laugh while the laughin' is easy 

I wanna cry when it makes it worthwhile 

I may never pass this way again 

That's why I want it with you 

('Cause) You make me feel like I'm more than a friend 

Like I'm the journey and you're the journey's end 

I may never pass this way again 

That's why I want it with you, baby
