Forever I run both day and night,

To who knows were that isn't in sight.

I start on the ground and rise to the air,

Riding the new winds both fluffy and fair.

Soon I arrive at the tallest of all the peaks,

Then all our big wells begin to spring some mighty leaks.

Falling for a while we reach a rocky slope,

Making it look like these mountains wants to mope.

After riding downshift we reach the main road,

All the while making new paths we corrode.

Many become one and rush as a crowd,

At some points we fall and scream quite loud.

Days in we meet a structure of steel,

Pushing on through we make its gears squeal.

Charging your cities we give you a boost,

But none have time to sit still and roost.

We follow the next on down till the end,

Which soon we see coming just round the bend.

The ocean is vast and where our journey seems to close,

But only for a minute till we meet our biggest foes.

The sun begins to attack and separate our merry bands,

For our journey is forever wrapped with both the air and the lands.
