"Welcome to our humble
Dark and enigmatic cave
Life is what you make of it
And this is what we've made"
"The roots that run along these walls
Are older than you'd know
They protect us from the winter
And its unforgiving snow"
"Don't blindly follow all of the things you've heard
Warnings without explanation are only words
The world is much more beautiful than if it were black and white
You should never get too comfortable in thinking that you're right"
"Years ago I lay there, wounded
Stuck beneath the rocks
I was on an expedition
And I must have gotten lost"
"But as I prepared to greet the end
I saw the Yeti Bear
He brought me here and saved my life
And shared his secret lair"
"Don't blindly follow all of the things you've heard
Warnings without explanation are only words
The world is much more beautiful than if it were black and white
You should never get too comfortable in thinking that you're right"
