'preservere' 'Don't quit now' 'keep on trying'
Why say these things
Why say these things
What do they matter,
We do it again
Again
Again
Stop now!
That don't do nothing!
Just hold us back with your words
Just hold us back with your words
We hear them all the time
We know these roads
We've climbed these ropes
what more can you do
Nothing
Nothing
That's what you say when you are defeated
That's what you told us not to do
Yet you drive us there
Yet you drive us there
What happened to what you've said before
Help not hurt!
That's what we cry out to you
And you cry out to us
Yet you hurt not help
Why
Why
I'll tell you why
You don't know what else to do
You don't know what else to do
Just let us know
One thing only
One thing only
Just tell us
Makes us remember
That if you have breath in your body
You have more to do
Your not done yet
Your not done yet
Still
'preservere' 'Don't quit now' 'keep on trying'
