As all living things in this universe
Make the Force that binds them all together,
We, the Jedi, are destined to traverse
That mystical essence that we tether.
Within from birth, that guiding sense of might,
Which makes us one heartbeat ahead of you,
Allows us access to the second sight
And brings us strength to do the things we do.
We are destined to make our way through life
By that ancient, arcane energy field
Twisting us in the wild nexus of strife
That leads us on until to death we yield
And take our place among those gifted few
At one with all and all with one pure view.
