Notes[edit | edit source]
Though most of the sheet music was written in the key of C, this leitmotif is in D. This is also true for most - if not all - of the songs that this leitmotif is used in.
Speculation[edit | edit source]
The fact that these notes are repeated throughout the soundtrack could be interpreted as the Wayfarer(s) telling themselves "I was born for this... I was born for this..." throughout their journeys - either as an obligation, or as a point of pride.
