That's Motivation

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Do you hear what I hear?

Do you see what I see?

Colin, I want you to use your imagination

You wake up one morning and you ask yourself

Why am I so exciting?

What makes me dramatic?

You're trying to say something about yourself

The dazzling crime of wisdom

You fall for reality

You're bruised and bewildered

Then you learn to fall in love with yourself

That's motivation

You raise yourself high

Presenting your soul

You step from the shadows

You hear the command

An image to dream

You tremble permission

Tomorrow's rewards bloody skies of today

You'll step out of time

Into life's every dream

A life of such powerful meaning

Now you has class

Now you has splash

Now you has mass motivation

Here's an image I can recommend

Here's a product you will die for

Here's a nightmare that will never end

Get you fired upp burning go oh oh

You know you got something

You know you got style

We don't take much just a little bit

That's motivation

Welcome to the world of your dreams, Colin

Where you can be what you want

Commit horrible sins

And get away with it

Lust

Gluttony

Pride

Anger

Sloth

Avarice

And jealousy

You know you got something

You know you got the style

We don't take much, but a little bit

That's motivation

No more false illusion

Goodbye to confusion

Stand out from the madding crowd

Motivation is symphony

Symphony in style (that's motivation)

It's brilliant, original (that's motivation)

Stimulating, encouragement (that's motivation)

As precious from home (that's motivation)

So what (motivation)

Say what (motivation)

New (moti)

So (moti)
