Lyrics

PERSISTENCE

IF YOU THINK THERES NO HOPE ONLY DARKNESS IN SIGHT
IF YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN'T WELL, YOURE PROBABLY RIGHT
IF YOU CANT SEEM TO FIND ANY REASON TO GO ON
THEN WHATCHA GONNA DO, MY SON?

YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND STARE AT YOURSELF
YOUR SPEND HALF YOUR LIFE LIKE A CAT ON A SHELF
JUSTKICK OFF YOUR SHROUD, TAKE THE PENNIES OFF YOUR EYES
RISE FROM THE DEAD TO EVERYONES' SURPRISE

NO TIME TO SING THE BLUES AND CRY
NO TIME TO SIT AND WONDER WONDER WHY
NO RAIN CAN DIM YOUR BRIGHT BLUE SKIES
IF YOU WILL ONLY TRY TO HAVE A LITTLE PERSISTENCE
PERSISTENCE

TALENTS NOT ENOUGH, IN FACT ITS RATED WAY TOO HIGH
IT ONLY GIVES YOU PAPER WINGS
ITS YOU WHOS GOTTA FLY
AN EMPTY KEG WILL NEVER FILL A MILLION JUGS OF WINE
THE GRAPE WONT GROW IF NOONE PLANTS THE VINE

WHEN THINGS ARE LOOKING WAY TOO BLACK
AND YOUR TRAIN IS RUNNING RIGHT OFF THE TRACK YEAH
YOU GOTTA FIND YOUR OWN WAY BACK
COS THERES REALLY ONLY ONE THING THAT YOU LACK
AND THATS A LITTLE BIT.. OF PERSISTENCE
YOU GOTTA HAVE..PERSISTENCE

YOURE NEVER GONNA QUIT THEN ALL THE PIECES START TO FIT
YOU NEVER GONNA STOP NOW YOU NEVER GONNA STOP NOW
YOU GOTTA KEEP ON RUNNIN TONIGHT
YOU GOTTA KEEP ON RUNNIN TONIGHT
YOU GOTTA KEEP ON RUNNIN..TONIGHT
YOU GOTTA KEEP ON RUNNIN..
KEEP KEEP KEEP KEEP YEAH..
