Through the mud and quicksand Through the undergrowth and vines We hacked our way along We had to crawl, we had to climb
Just what was it that pulled us? It was not riches, nor was it glory It was affection, and when we found it It was sublime
We searched both high and low for what we found in each others’ arms, dear We quested far and wide, while never knowing that it was so near Now we are explorers of the heart
Trekking over sand dunes We braved the heat of desert suns Knowing that we’d rest, at last only when we were done
What thing was it that drew us Out of our homes and onwards and upwards It was affection, and when we found it, It was sublime
We searched both high and low for what we found in each others’ arms, dear We quested far and wide, while never knowing that it was so near Now there is one place left for us to conquer, one more frontier Now we are explorers of the heart
In the ocean deep On the mountain high In the valley low Across the river wide Is where we found it
Climbing over glaciers Up from the fjords and over ice Trudging through the snow banks Relentlessness our only vice
Just what was it that pulled us Out of our homes and onwards and upwards It was affection, and when we found it, It was sublime
We searched both high and low for what we found in each others’ arms, dear We quested far and wide, while never knowing that it was so near Now there is one place left for us to conquer, one more frontier There is no turning back, forget your doubts and ignore your fears Now we are explorers of the heart Now we are explorers of the heart Now we are explorers of the heart
