Marge has written a lyric called "Persistence" so here's the midi and text. "Persistence" is the title of that image on our Geocities home page, I use it all over the place as I designed it myself, as I've no doubt told you before. And will again.

Bit cold for the garden today, but I sat out for a while having an elocution lesson. I'm trying to rescue what is left of my speech, brushing up certain phrases and words that come out wrong (i.e. 90% of my speech). Trouble is that my emotions keep getting in the way and I waste time crying and laughing or both.

Love,
John.

Persistence

It lasts awhile
Before we run out on time
To do what has to be done
We have to make up our minds
To see a progress
We achieve
When you're out of bounds
Still believe…

That extra mile can get us there
Go the distance with this load you bare
You can find persistence
Is how you care
Just resist what isn't fair

It takes courage
When you want to be so brave
And we fight to keep the peace
Only live how we behave
When we see that crime
Might not leave
If evil surrounds
Still believe…

That extra mile can get us there
Go the distance with this load you bare
You can find persistence
Is how you care
Just resist what isn't fair

(Empowered instrumental!) (Come on buddy, you can do it!) ")

That extra mile can get us there
Go the distance with this load you bare
You can find persistence
Is how you care
don't you know
That extra mile can get us there
Go the distance with this load you bare
You can find persistence
Is how you care
Just resist what isn't fair
Just resist what isn't fair
