[00:00:00] 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

[00:00:03] Ah Emme

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

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

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

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

[00:00:24] Meaningful thing

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:51] To absurdity as fast

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

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

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

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

[00:01:05] And without fear

[00:01:09] You got to persevere

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:11] Takes a dignified pause

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:37] What words to hear

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

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

[00:02:46] Failure as fast

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

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

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

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

[00:02:59] And says through tears

[00:03:05] You got to persevere

[00:03:11] Persevere

[00:03:16] Persevere

[00:03:22] Persevere

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:04:10] And still

[00:04:12] We just persevere
