To the East

I set my gaze to the east each morn’
To the east to meet the sun
I chase the light of day each day
‘til a new day has begun
 
Awake, indomitable soul within
No conquered tears to grace this brow
But, blood and sweat; unwavering pride
My head held high, unbowed
 
No caste to tell me who I am
Nor, who I am to be
Fate will never hold me bound
I live because I’m free
 
Free to try and to succeed
Free to struggle through
To tread all failures under foot
And start each day anew
 
Patience is my soul mate
Perseverance, my closest kin
Tomorrow is ever before my eyes
Waiting, wanting to begin
 
So, I gaze to the East each morn
To the East to meet the sun
I chase the light of day each day
‘til a new day has begun
 
A new day has begun
