Perseverance Works Lyrics by Victoria Wilson-James

Perseverance

1991

The greater the prize the steeper the hill
Perseverance works
See your reflection in the looking glass
Of things gone past
Try to find out what you're looking for
In the present tense, your life is hopeless
And meaningless
You want to be rich but your banker says your'e poor
Nine-to-five stress is boring and tedious
Manipulating love and all the rest
Take a look in your consciousness
It's a mess
Tired of being let down and depressed
Perseverance works
You can see your waterglass half-empty
Or half-full
What you choose to perceive is up to you
Is it good, is it bad
Indifferent, not ever that
Caught up in somebody else's truth
Walking down the street each day
Look at life in a different way
White light
Perseverance works
But the greater the prize the steeper the hill
Perseverance works
Be the captain of the helm
Perseverance works
Be the king of the realm
You know we've just got to get some unity
Like if we're gonna live beyond eternity
Cosmic law without flaw
Behold the light within us all
Perseverance works
Take control of the helm
Perseverance works
Be the king of the realm now
Perseverance works
Come on
Perseverance works
But the greater the prize the steeper the hill
Perseverance works
Take control of the helm
Perseverance works
Be the king of the realm now
Perseverance works
Come on
Perseverance works
The greater the prize the steeper the hill
