Oh, Oh Fortune favors the brave Oh, Oh Fortune favors the brave We have swept to glory Egypt's mastery expands From the Nile's northern most Delta To the dry, dry southern sands The more we find, the more we see The more we come to learn The more that we explore The more we shall return Oh, oh Fortune favors the brave It's all worked out, my road is clear The lines of latitude extend Way beyond my wildest dreams Toward some great triumphant end We seize the day, we turned the tide We touched the stars
We mocked the grave We moved into uncharted lands Fortune favors the brave The more we find, the more we see The more we come to learn The more that we explore The more we shall return Nothing is an accident We are free to have it all We are what we want to be It's in ourselves to rise or fall This is easy to believe When distant places call to me It's harder from the palace yard Fortune favors the free Oh, oh Fortune favors the young Oh, oh Fortune favors the brave
