The soothing chords the song starts with are a worthy companion for the singer’s gentle voice. But the artists wouldn’t leave it at that. The healthy percussion brings diversity to the melody. It’s a composition that flows, which is exactly what is needed for singing these wonderful lyrics:
“Keep your head up,
drown your days with dreams
of where you’re going
and who you want to be.
It’s gonna take a little time.
It always takes a lot of trying.
It takes, takes, takes a state of mind,
and always takes a little time.
Just do what you gotta do.
If it’s good for me it’s good for you.
Do what you gotta do,
do what you gotta do.
Face the great fears,
throw them to the birds.
Your expression
screams a thousand words.
It’s gonna take a little time.
It always takes a lot of trying.
It takes, takes, takes a state of mind,
and always takes a little time.”
These are some wise words right here; wise and beautiful. Under the guidance of such a kind voice, this song becomes a calm hymn for patience and perseverance.
