The King's Will - "Persevere", live at The Macbeth, 03.05.12

Persevere: I have this sibling
Who puts the word "sister" in persistent:
She's always so high tempo, moving forwards -
She's awesome;
She knows life has no sequel,
So she freefalls, leaps like Kaneval -
Half woman, half work ethic,
She rarely whinges, much to her credit,
And if I whinge - and much this brother does -
She advises me: "Think Dyson. Suck it up -
Suck it up!" -
You must persevere -
Keep midnight oil burning here
You've not long upon this turning sphere
So face the road, don't turn in fear:
So you must
Take that retake
Strain till you're up to scratch, like a DJ
You must -
Push to the finish
Since before grinning,
You must grimace:

Life's hit her harder than breezeblocks -
Still, persevere is her ethos
She sees me get concerned for her
And she tells me not to worry:
Says life's the harshest of courses
And she's not the hare but the tortoise:
Success: there's those who get it fast:
As slow as the debt repayments on credit cards
Comes my triumph; there's no denying
Of my defiance or my desire...
You must persevere -
Keep midnight oil burning here
You've not long upon this turning sphere
So face the road, don't turn in fear:
You must
Take that retake
Strain till you're up to scratch, like a DJ
You must -
Push to the finish
Since before grinning,
You must grimace
You must persevere
