Lyrics
Persistence
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.
Settle down, stop trying so hard
Push back what you think is impossible
You're only undecided because you choose to be
Settle down don't take it personal
Rearrange how you see things
You're only undecided because you were told to be
Because you were told to be
Go ahead and find yourself undeniably different
Go ahead and clear the way, your only thought is persistence
Your only thought is persistence
Take your time, stop thinking so much
Always searching for answers
You're only uninspired because you chose to be
Take your time don’t try and force it out
Your opinions can sometimes be self doubt
You're only uninspired because of what you’ve seen
Because of what you’ve seen
Go ahead and find yourself undeniably different
Go ahead and clear the way, your only thought is persistence
Go ahead and find yourself undeniably different
Go ahead and clear the way, your only thought is persistence
Your only thought is persistence
And maybe its not your fault at all
Anyone can make mistakes, can all wrongs be erased?
Your only thought is persistence
Go ahead and find yourself undeniably different
Go ahead and clear the way, your only thought is persistence
Your only thought is persistence
Your only thought is persistence
