Persevere (百折不回) - Gang of Youths (热血青春帮)[00:00:00]

Written by：David Le'aupepe[00:00:00]

I never got to kiss your head[00:00:00]

Ah Emme[00:00:03]

And the call came the week I got divorced[00:00:05]

I thought I had a real understanding then of loss[00:00:11]

But I didn't know a thing 'til you were gone[00:00:16]

And I'm tired of trying to find some sort of[00:00:22]

Meaningful thing[00:00:24]

In making sense of such unspeakable loss[00:00:26]

But as I'm staring at your folks[00:00:32]

The sweetest people I know[00:00:34]

I get a glimpse of what it is to be strong[00:00:38]

Just holding hands and sobbing with sunglasses on[00:00:43]

'Coz nothing tuned me in[00:00:49]

To absurdity as fast[00:00:51]

As a gravestone with the name[00:00:54]

Of a baby that has passed[00:00:56]

I used to wanna be important[00:00:59]

Now I just wanna be alive[00:01:02]

And without fear[00:01:05]

You got to persevere[00:01:09]

I couldn't count the times[00:01:33]

I've ragged on heaven[00:01:34]

As an opiate invented by the weak[00:01:38]

It's an argument I hate[00:01:43]

'Coz I'm content to love the fates[00:01:45]

But it comes up a lot with Emme's dad and me[00:01:49]

So I'm shotgun in the car[00:01:54]

And we're just shooting the sh*t[00:01:56]

And predictably the talking turns to God[00:02:00]

So I throw him forty lines[00:02:05]

How I don't think he exists[00:02:07]

And he just smiles and[00:02:10]

Takes a dignified pause[00:02:11]

Says it's ok to feel unbelievably lost[00:02:15]

But God is full of grace[00:02:22]

And his faithfulness is vast[00:02:24]

There is safety in the moments[00:02:27]

When the sh*t has hit the fan[00:02:29]

Not some vindictive motherf**ker[00:02:31]

Nor is he shitty at his job[00:02:35]

What words to hear[00:02:37]

And I'm a mess by now[00:02:42]

'Coz nothing tuned me in to my[00:02:43]

Failure as fast[00:02:46]

As grieving for a friend[00:02:48]

With more belief than I possessed[00:02:51]

It's not some disembodied heaven[00:02:53]

He assured me then he laughed[00:02:57]

And says through tears[00:02:59]

You got to persevere[00:03:05]

Persevere[00:03:11]

Persevere[00:03:16]

Persevere[00:03:22]

We threw a party up in here[00:03:48]

But God it was bittersweet[00:03:51]

I live hard 'coz I am scared[00:03:54]

That I won't mean anything[00:03:57]

So now I'm praying to the ceiling[00:03:59]

To the windows to the walls[00:04:02]

Against this sudden sinking feeling[00:04:05]

That there's nothing there at all[00:04:07]

And still[00:04:10]

We just persevere[00:04:12]
