Listen to Pursuit by 3FORCE

Look at how far you have come
The journey you have taken
Since your favour reawakened
Since the tree of life was shaken
And the leaves fell in succumb
Look at how far you have come

The race appeared well run
As disgrace neared from every direction
To undress you of the web in fever spun
Your arms and legs were bound
Yet, still you stood your ground profoundly
Then transcended mortal boundary
As your vesture came undone

The sun was heartily ablaze
The moon remarkably behaved
The stars were partially displaced
Yet keen to bargain for amaze
Each day and night a light and shade of you to celebrate regardless of the blight of life’s degenerate and harness
To emanate the faith you do
Costumes the nature of your bloom
Your private chamber fames the view
Before you favourably strewn

Look at how far you have come
To salute the skies that loop reprise of youthful rise from old bones revolutionized
To be so whole dehumanized
Tolls bell foretold no scrutinize
The chime of ever truthful eyes
That cared to come undone

The sun was heartily ablaze
The moon remarkably behaved
The stars were partially displaced
Yet keen to bargain for amaze
Each day and night a light and shade of you to celebrate regardless of the blight of life’s degenerate and harness
To emanate the faith you do
Costumes the nature of your bloom
Your private chamber fames the view
Before you favourably strewn

…

Look at how far you have come
The journey you have taken
Since your favour reawakened
Since the tree of life was shaken
And the leaves fell in succumb

There will be storms
They will be fierce
And true to form
You’ll face your fears
Embrace the hail
Prevail
Refresh
Each storm to pass
When clouds undress
At behest of blest address
You wrest the more from scores of less
Bereft the stress that second guessing tends to overstretch
No less possessed by fresh beginnings
All five senses sense you’re winning
Even when your head is spinning
Blessèd essence is refilling
Overspilling with the willing to see every dream fulfilling
At your leisure
Buried treasure
Ferries pleasure
To each tether never severed less endeavoured to remember whichsoever liquid measure lifts the zephyr
With the drift to live forever

Look at how far you have come
The journey you have taken
Since your favour reawakened
Since the tree of life was shaken
And the leaves fell in succumb
The nature of your rise
The sweet persuasion of your tide
As you parade amazing heights
Unchained
The brave crusading knight
To seize the day
The rainy nights
The in-between
To braid entwined
The light and shade
Beneath the tree of farthest reach
Unchanged of pride
In grace
Reclined
Of sweetest seed be sown
To frame unceasing skies and lead thee
Home

There will be storms
They will be fierce
And true to form
You’ll face your fears
Embrace the hail
Prevail
Refresh
Each storm to pass
When clouds undress
At behest of blest address
You wrest the more from scores of less
Bereft the stress that second guessing tends to overstretch
No less possessed by fresh beginnings
All five senses sense you’re winning
Even when your head is spinning
Blessèd essence is refilling
Overspilling with the willing to see every dream fulfilling
At your leisure
Buried treasure
Ferries pleasure
To each tether never severed less endeavoured to remember whichsoever liquid measure lifts the zephyr
With the drift to live forever
