Aspera

I'm in shambles

Blown to bits by our troubles

These brambles

Our stumblings our struggles

Aspera! per aspera! per ardua! ad astra!

It's a forced march

And I'm parched in denial

It's a struggle

Of faith and of fire

Aspera! per aspera! per ardua! ad astra!

Walking we are caught, by tiny hooks that hold our hope

Our skin may be scratched, but nothing holds us back

I will be brave, my body may change

But my spirit will stay, I will be brave

Aspera! per aspera! per ardua! ad astra!

I'm in shambles

Blown to bits by our troubles

These brambles

Our stumblings our struggles

Aspera! per aspera! per ardua! ad astra!

Thorns! over thorns! through this trouble, we are born!
