When the setting sun turns the sky to gold,

When the day is done, then the story is told

Of a brave little band.

They were just balls of goo, but they set forth so bold

To explore a new land.

 

Though the way was long and their strength was untried,

When the chasm before them was deep and wide,

They knew just what to do:

Let us build a bridge to the other side!

Hand in hand, we'll get through.

 

If we trust in ourselves and hold fast to our friends,

Though our strength may be stretched, we won't break when we bend --

See how far we can reach!

And, together, we'll see this quest through to its end

For the truth it can teach:

 

When we follow our hearts 'til our dreams are fulfilled

We will see, looking back on each bridge that we build,

As it shines in the sun,

That one lone ball of goo, no matter how strong or skilled,

Couldn't do what we've done.
