Struggle

Understanding the meaning of struggle
Giving your whole life to a single passion
Which others may, may or may not
Consider obsolete

Like a rare flower, seen by a few before it withers and dies
Before it withers and dies
Seeing it all, all the way through
Through the very end, regardless

A full stop followed by an exclamation mark
Written in your flesh and blood
Getting knocked down every time
Getting knocked down every moment
You get up, until you love getting up

I know what you've been going through
I've been there too
God knows I've been pushing hard, pushing so damn hard
I've forgotten what the hell I'm even pushing for

Recognize it when it happens to you
Learn to recognize it and know what to do
Stop clinging on, let's go own nothing
Do it out of love, do it out of love

Words cannot substitute
Losing everything, losing your home
Losing your money, your dignity
Losing your mind, your beliefs, ideals

Then and only then
When everything is gone
You no longer care
Your soul standing naked and bare

Stripped down to the truth
Then you'll find everything
On Heaven and earth
On Heaven and earth
On Heaven and earth

The struggle is long
The struggle is hard
The struggle is beautiful

The struggle is long
The struggle is hard
The struggle is beautiful

The struggle is long
The struggle is hard
The struggle is beautiful
