Brigada AI - Perseverance Lyrics

Say not that work is e'er ill‑spent
Say not that effort fails or seems
Say not that he o'er labour bent
Is one in the world's many dreams
For not in vain with patient shocks
With timely rush and quick'ning roar
The ocean crashes on the rocks
And bounds on to the sounding shore
They check 'tis true his rolling rush
His sturdy beat they seem to scorn
His surging waves with force they crush
And turn in spray his billows torn
But days and weeks and months and years
He strikes and strikes and strikes amain
And dent on dent in them appears
That shows his weary patient gain
For not in vain with patient shocks
With timely rush and quick'ning roar
The ocean crashes on the rocks
And bounds on to the sounding shore
They check 'tis true his rolling rush
His sturdy beat they seem to scorn
His surging waves with force they crush
And turn in spray his billows torn
But days and weeks and months and years
He strikes and strikes and strikes amain
And dent on dent in them appears
That shows his weary patient gain
And years may pass or ages go
Those eaten rocks will smaller stand;
Still he with measured aim and slow
Shall bend his surging to the land
Sure as the sun and unperceived
As is the growing of a tree
He works and works nor is deceived
By sturdy from that men can see
And when his object full he gains
With last and sounding rending crash
His mighty power he still sustains
And onward still his waters dash
They check 'tis true his rolling rush
His sturdy beat they seem to scorn
His surging waves with force they crush
And turn in spray his billows torn
They check 'tis true his rolling rush
His sturdy beat they seem to scorn
His surging waves with force they crush
And turn in spray his billows torn
