LYRICS
\nIt’s the matter of “is”<\/p>\n

There I was just sitting… minding my own business
\nWhen the voice from above spoke to me
\n“Why would anyone want tranquility?”<\/p>\n

There’d be no satisfaction in habitation
\nThere’d be no thrill in the strive to stay alive
\nJust try to not let the thrill overspill and kill<\/p>\n

How can I stay sitting in the business of success
\nBalancing the scale between worthless and excess
\nOn this day, I heard Her say to me
\n“You know my availability?”
\nI’m aware you’re always there
\n“Record this for all posterity”
\nI won’t rest ’till I do my best<\/p>\n
