This Is Not A Test
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.
For those of you
Who tried
But didn't make it
Settle down
It's never what you think
The summit doesn't differ
From the big, dark valley
And the valley
Doesn't differ
From the kitchen sink
For those of you
Who thought
You'd be forgotten
The friends you've made
Will try their best
To make it so
Think of all the beauty
That you left behind you
You can take it
If you want it
And then let it go
Chorus:
And this is not a test
No, this is not a test
Taking numbers
Never made sense, anyways
No, this is not a test
No, this is not a test
'Cause you can have it
If you want it, anyways
For those of us who try
To keep remembering
Try to do our better
Than our best
Think of all the children
In the drifts of snow
Winners never quit
But winters never rest
(Chorus 2x)
