Stan Freberg - Perseverance lyrics

How did the man who lit up America do it? What incandescent quality led the man to it? What drove him day and night Till finally he saw the light? And what refused to let that man give up? Why, it was Perseverance, ya gotta have Perseverance, don't let yourself Be swayed by negative thoughts Or interference, once the Good Lord has given you The inspiration, my friend, you gotta have Perseverance to the end When inspiration drives you Ya gotta keep goin' Keep that creative fountainhead Open and flowin' At moments you must admit You feel like you want to quit But what's that thing that sees you through it all? Why, it's just Perseverance, ya gotta have Perseverance, don't let yourself Be swayed by negative thoughts Or interference, once the Good Lord has given you The inspiration, my friend, you gotta have Perseverance to the end
