Spirit, Heart and Strength of Will
Versus Logic, Caution and Common
sense
Common sense means what to you?
Carefully weighing up what to do
Playing life safe and not making
waves
How the practical person behaves
Wishing and hoping and carefully
saves
Or clawing out of our respective
caves
Searching inside for our spirit’s
aim
Not settling for a life so ordered
and tame
An every day schedule from nine to
five
Sinking into the shadow or coming
alive
Grasping the nettle and feeling
the sting
Take heart to search for a road
with some zing
Striving with real effort at
everything
Teeth gritting for a better
tomorrow to bring
That little pump working as hard
as it can
Not to end back exactly where you
began
Summoning up deepest strength of
will
To start again each day is too
bitter a pill
Never believe that you cannot do
better
Following the safe school word to
the letter
From fear of becoming a loaded
debtor
Struggle and work to be a go
getter
Speak loud enough to be audible
Performing to a standard more laudable
Proceed with caution but not with
fear
Keep the principles you hold most
dear
Never stop when the going gets
tough
Push on relentlessly as the path
gets rough
Dig deep when you stand at the
edge of a bluff
When as hard as you try it’s never
enough
Live goes on well past that first
high peak
Your own strength built to the
goal you seek
