Through food, we learn the world so wide, to train the heart, the self inside

Spring to fall, we grow so tall Train in heat, and feast in snow; strength and heart in balance grow With righteous guts and hero's vow, so brave, so strong, dependable now When all is done, I brush my sleeve; to mend the soul, no praise I need Waycraft burns bright, no fiend nor shade can escape my might Palm to strike and sword to fight, heroes rise in the dead of night Swift and sudden, none withstand; no move beats the empty hand You evil thugs, taste my fists and feet! I sigh, so long I've trained through night and day One meal, one spark, and life's strange truth breaks free I wait, for time to stir each taste and hue A thousand forms, each old and yet so new Gotta Stir-fry, watch the flame Rush the dish? You've only got yourself to blame! (Aww~) Table manners? Keep it light Slurp down a hundred eighty bites! (Mmm-mm!) Steaming's got its secret art Slow and steady — don't you start! (Phew~) Be precise, observe, stay cool No greed, no pride, no breaking rules! (Heh-Heh!) Don't be late when dinner's done Skipping homework? Never, not once! (Aww~) Lead by doing, set the tone Show the style our sect has shown! (Mmm-mm!) If someone asks to learn the way Stay bold and true — don't run away! (Phew~) Look! My flavor, my soul, my spark All crafted by my cooking heart I sigh, so long I've trained through night and day Yet wisdom comes by firelight's gentle way I wait, for time to stir each taste and hue A thousand forms, each old and yet so new Gotta Boil it slow, then sear with flame A bold hand brings the heat to fame (Aww~) One mighty finger, power through Can't waste the gift your body knew (Mmm-hmm!) No magic pill for heart or soul One meal, one class, to make you whole (Whew~) This truth of food, the world it feeds Is best explored while young in deeds Round and round, have you yet seen How many dawns and dusks there've been? How many bend to measure life, unseen? The road ahead is far and wide But keep your honest heart as guide Then logs and knots and worn-out wood can all be carved and shaped for good Let one clear thought shine, bright and proud But never let it make you loud Stir-fry, watch the flame Rush the dish? You've only got yourself to blame! (Aww~) Table manners? Keep it light Slurp down a hundred eighty bites! (Mmm-mm!) Steaming's got its secret art Slow and steady — don't you start! (Phew~) Be precise, observe, stay cool No greed, no pride, no breaking rules! (Heh-Heh!) Don't be late when dinner's done Skipping homework? Never, not once! (Aww~) Lead by doing, set the tone Show the style our sect has shown! (Mmm-mm!) If someone asks to learn the way Stay bold and true — don't run away! (Phew~) Look! My flavor, my soul, my spark All crafted by my cooking heart Life serves sweet and bitter bites You've got to take it all in stride
