Strength Beyond Merit Lyrics

Self-destructive pursuit of perfection

Never-ending, Constant direction

Running circles, chasing a dream

Just out of reach, or so it seems

Strive and struggle, Push and fight

The harder we try, the more we ignite

A fire within us, a burning desire

To be the best, to rise higher and higher

What's the point, what do we gain

From this constant pursuit, this endless strain

On our selves, on our minds, On our hearts and souls

Strive now for a goal, beyond our control

Learn to let go, to find peace

Learn to move on, to release

Learn to proceed, to forgive

In the present, Free from sin

Crush our flaws, Don't let them in

Now our future, may begin

Break this struggle, break our past

Strength beyond merit, peace will last

True strength is not what we achieve

It's how we live, love and believe

It's not in our house, it's not our rings

Not in the world, or useless things

It's in ourselves, in one another,

Power to love, forgive to recover

Let us now see the beauty in life,

Let us live for the journey, not the goal in our sight
