The Music Of Michael Giacchino
Adventure is out there, it’s heading our way
So grab your scarf and goggles, let’s fly!
I’ve mapped out our journey, we’re up here to stay.
A sunset is our home.
A moonbeam we will own.
My Spirit of Adventure is you!
Adventure is out there, it’s my Holy Grail,
So cannibals and tigers beware!
I’ve made my life’s journey to blaze every trail.
I’ve got my aero fare.
The high-brows will be there.
My Spirit of Adventure is you!
Gargantuan monstrosities larger than a whale,
come with me and we will snatch that giant monkey's tail!
Bang, bang! Once the smoke has cleared, after all the clouds have cleared,
another risky venture, that sure would be the clincher,
My spirit of adventure is you!
Adventure is out there, let's crack some champagne.
I've hung a hundred heads on my wall!
To say that I've traveled is far too mundane
