THE EFFORT LYRICS

"Tips And Directions"

While your heart sleeps in your chest
My sleeve is pounding loud
While your heart sleeps in your chest
My sleeve is pounding loud

While your heart sleeps in your chest
My sleeve is pounding loud
And that’s why I raise my fist
I’ve got to let all the words come out

I’ve been second-guessing all of the rest
Trying to understand what it’s all really about

So don’t bother singing along
If the strength doesn’t come from deep, deep inside your heart
'cause these words are more than just a song
It’s the spark from which a fire should start

And twenty years ago
I was a little boy
Unaware of the shifts I could make
And I had no idea
how to enjoy my own life
With the roads I would take
With the roads I would take
But someone gave me a tip when I had stopped for directions
He told me, he said, “This is it, so stop looking for perfection.”
I want more
I want to be the new beat for our generation
Lost in my words
We could ditch the destruction
and lead a life of contemplation
Bodhisattvas of the 1950s killed their own convictions
And lost their minds but did we learn
From their self annihilation?
