Disclaimer: I do not own Samurai 7 or any characters affiliated therewith. Neither do I own "Go The Distance" or any Disney material of any kind in any form.
Dedicated to all of my family, friends, teachers, classmates, and everyone who has directly or indirectly told me to Go The Distance.
Often, I have dreamed,
Of a far away place
Where a ronin such as myself
May find safe haven.
Where throngs of people
Would welcome my arrival,
Where they would cheer
When they hear my name.
This world holds so much pain,
So much sin.
A man can only take so much.
I would go to the ends of the earth to find such a place…
I'll find that Heavenly utopia someday.
I know I'll find my own way.
I know every mile I trudge
Will be worth the while.
It will take a lifetime,
But I will remain strong,
That goal drives me along.
I would go to the ends of the earth to find such a place…
As I look upon my youthful student,
I envy the fact he is untainted,
For I still see the faces of those I've killed.
Hundreds of times
Has the blood of men
Stained my hands.
I've said before,
I am only an empty shell.
If only a samurai like me
Could find a true place to rest at last…
I would go to the ends of the earth to find such a place…

A/N: I know, I know, depressing. But hey, I was listening to a highly melancholy song when I wrote this. Hoped you liked it though!
