Fist vs tact

I've dwelt long on the past and I just can't take it anymore I struggle in vain at last, I've managed to board Up the windows and lock the door Persist to resist, fight back Not with a fist, with tact Ideas in action, with passion Passion commitment, dedication When all is said and done, our time is spent And we've had our fun Have you taken the time to think about your life And what it means to know eternity I've dwelt long on the past and I just can't take it anymore I struggle in vain at last, I've managed to board Up the windows and lock the door
