Endless Strive lyrics
by Helena Deland
I have encountered in my course
Many open-minded folks
And often, they would friend
The journey, but not its end
Against the scholar disgrace
Too abstract for their taste
They’d rather think body and mind
A whole stoutly combined
A cerebral life
An endless strife
Sleepless pursuits
Nature’s prized truths
A cerebral life
An endless strife
Sleepless pursuits
Nature’s prized truths
I noticed their despair
None were truly aware
The sacrifice implied
Mistakenly applied
Reminding me asceticism
A self-refusing idealism
That someone should pursue
An endless strive for truth
A cerebral life
An endless strife
Sleepless pursuits
Nature’s prized truths
A cerebral life
An endless strife
Sleepless pursuits
Nature’s prized truths
