Bravery matters

Practical mind says this is going to be hard work
Artistic mind says this is going to be a work-out of fun
Practical mind says that's time better served elsewhere
Artistic mind says that's time to serve the invisible masses
Practical mind asks what's the point?
Artistic mind answers the point is!
Practical mind asks how are you planning to pay for that?
Artistic mind answers the wealth will find me!
Practical mind says there's always next year
Artistic mind says right now is the promise
Practical mind says don't stand on that cliff...you might fall
Artistic mind says oh that cliff...my launching pad to fly
Practical mind says that car might not make it on a quarter tank
Artistic mind says I'm glad I got triple-A and a bus pass
Practical mind asks what about the children?
Artistic mind says the children are leading the way
Practical mind says I think you may be in over your head
Artistic mind says that's why I follow my heart
