Strive, Strive, Strive (Inspiration) - Faerytale & Phil

I sent a music bed to Lisa West @faerytale (and some lyrics) and I got a re-written lyric and fabulous vocals sent back. I re-made the bed a little to emphasise certain phrases and the vocal intricacies, put a chocolate on the pillow and now just invite the trusting to lie down and close their eyes; the amazing Faerytale will tell you a story as inspirationally and awesomely as always! Enjoy...

Strive, Strive, Strive (Inspiration)

The wind blew through my hair
Bearing me on an egos' wings
To the daily competition where
Few make it out of line
Strive, strive, strive

Inspired always to be the best
Give me looks praise and glory
Numbers make my craft worthwhile
Without them I’m an obscure story

To simply be isn’t for me
To simply be isn’t for me
Can you hear it?
( I need your inspiration)
Inspiration from on high
( I need your inspiration) It cuts so low
I cry laughing at the poor fools who believe that they can make it
Can you hear it?
( I need your inspiration)
Inspiration from on high
(I need your help)
That cuts so low
I cry laughing at the poor fools who think they can make it
(I need your inspiration)

Give me crowds, drama, love for the demon, legion, legion, legion
(I need your inspiration)
I’m a victim of my own pride
“Wait did I just say that?!? Well I don’t really believe it!”
I’m better than you and I want you to see it
(I need your inspiration)
Can you hear it?

The wind blowing through your hair
Bearing you on an egos' wings
To the daily competition
Where you barely make it out alive
Now, strive, strive, strive...
