For some, music is not just a pasttime
It's an undeniable fact of living
A blissful slavery of mind, body, and soul
"To rise above the ashes of mediocrity is rare
Yet the gift of song is freely handed out to anyone who cares to receive it
Instantly shattering our daily drudgery
The path to pursue more than the usual
More than what is safe and known
Is wrought with time-sharpened jagged blades that cut deep
Blocking many from the road of something greater
Beyond the stunted imagination of their peers
Within the veins of the few
Passion fills every sinew with sweet unquenchable purpose
Calming the fear of those treacherous paths
Though each slice burns and bleeds
Still they take each cut
And wear their scars with pride to signale their choice
That undying pursuit of greater joy within every chord
And so they say - Watch Me Bleed"~Hanson
That.... is why i LOVE Hanson so much...only THEY could write that. WOW.
