ACT[ua]L - 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
