Persistence
When your many streams of consciousness
Make a suicidal leap into the sea
You will have a eureka experience
And finally understand me
When the footfalls of your idea army
March straight into battle to die
And spill blood where the Earth is driest
You will grow an eye for and I
But if you think of me in sleep
When your defenses have fallen to the floor
I might see you twitch in resentment
And forever close this door
So walk on a great deal longer
plod over impossible terrain
Then I will show you what light I have carried
And all will not be in vain
Make a suicidal leap into the sea
You will have a eureka experience
And finally understand me
When the footfalls of your idea army
March straight into battle to die
And spill blood where the Earth is driest
You will grow an eye for and I
But if you think of me in sleep
When your defenses have fallen to the floor
I might see you twitch in resentment
And forever close this door
So walk on a great deal longer
plod over impossible terrain
Then I will show you what light I have carried
And all will not be in vain
