letra de learning to fall - the living wells

[verse 1: moshe friedman]
it used to be so easy, why did the inspiration leave me?
is there someone out there trying to tease me?
or is it human nature what we typically do
to lose steam when routine’s no longer different or new
i remember the days when i felt so lofty
any trouble in my way, used to let it roll off me
wake up every morning, 6 o’clock, no coffee
i was skating through life like pro hockey
that’s when i finally hit the wall (who doesn’t?)
inspiration started to fall (snooze b-tton)
a few dozen, used to be on fire like the blues brothers
now i’m cold as a cuc-mber
turns out i was riding the wave of beginner’s luck
and now that the wave has p-ssed i’m just a sitting duck
guess it’s time to settle in, a veteran
desperately trying to find his second wind

“all of life is an experience of newness, the thrill of newness, and just when you’re maximally inspired by the thrill of newness you get let down, and only if you have the courage and insight and tenacity to go through that period of darkness, can you get back to that real light at the end that then makes you realize that the first one was only a false experience.”

[verse 2: moshe friedman]
that second wind never came, man
so i figured that i’d need a better game plan
got a routine, started jogging, started blogging
used my noggin, no more leapfrogging
set small goals and worked long and hard
every time i gained an inch, i lost a yard
but the real things are worth sweat
a journey of a thousand miles and i just took my first step

“and only if you survive through the darkness does the second light shine on you, but you shine the second. when you make it happen the second time, it is you.”

[verse 3: moshe friedman]
it used to be so easy, isn’t life supposed to be easy?
that’s how it looks on movies and on tv
when things get hard doesn’t everybody bounce back?
i’m still waiting on my montage and soundtrack
i almost can’t do hard things without that
so hooked on instant gratification
so addicted to that sweet inspiration
it’s like i gotta go to rehabilitation
it’s generation now, that’s why they like to say
we don’t even have patience for a microwave
we play guitar hero ‘stead of rock n’ roll
and fifa ‘stead of practicing our soccer goal
that inspiration, it was making my day
but i feel so blessed that it was taken away
cuz when there’s no defense, there’s no goal in the game
and with bumpers, who cares if you can bowl in the lane?
it was nice to see the big picture like a puzzle box
but that was just a spark to get the oven hot
in my life, i’m gonna earn the right to stand out
so give me hard work and you can keep the handouts

“imagine you could live for one day as the person that you would be if you worked on yourself intensely for twenty years. imagine the inspiration.”
