Endless Strive

[Verse 1]

I have encountered in my course

Many open-minded folks

And often, they would friend

The journey, but not its end

[Verse 2]

Against the scholar disgrace

Too abstract for their taste

They’d rather think body and mind

A whole stoutly combined

[Chorus]

A cerebral life

An endless strife

Sleepless pursuits

Nature’s prized truths

A cerebral life

An endless strife

Sleepless pursuits

Nature’s prized truths

[Verse 3]

I noticed their despair

None were truly aware

The sacrifice implied

Mistakenly applied

[Verse 4]

Reminding me asceticism

A self-refusing idealism

That someone should pursue

An endless strive for truth

[Chorus]

A cerebral life

An endless strife

Sleepless pursuits

Nature’s prized truths

A cerebral life

An endless strife

Sleepless pursuits

Nature’s prized truths
