This tracks is about the need to take action to achieve your goals. Even when that action seems fruitless to you, it dose not necessarily mean it is, and when things get hard and seem too much and close to breaking point, it's important to be able to take a breath, get context and just take in the stars above us.

Fortune favours the brave (lyrics) 

Wherever you go, wherever the wind may blow,
Just follow your feet and take what you need and go,
Just go.

As children we’ll follow our hearts, we’ll run until the day grows dark,
And be who we’ll be because no one can see us now, not now.

And life won’t leave you be, with hope to make you see.
That I can’t hold your hands forever.

Whatever befalls you in time, to hope that your seeds will survive,
And bring them on home and reap what you so in time, in time.

And life won’t leave you be, with hope to make you see.
That I can’t hold your hands forever.

And you wear your hat and I’ll wear the clothes and we’ll speak in the language that everyone know,

And look to the dirt on the think window pane to the bright world outside as it wispers to you your name,
Your name.

And life won’t leave you be, with hope to make you see.
That I can’t hold your hands forever.
