"Built To Last" lyrics

"Built To Last"

Can you feel the energy?
How it burns inside your chest?
To boldly go where no one's gone?
To enjoy the very best?
You don't need to heed the call
'Cause you can choose who you will be
The time is right for Icarus flight
Can you feel the energy?

It confines a spirit
Terrestrial
So once you leave their orbit
You're good to go, so I say
I know the future's free
We're not a relic of the past
And I know we're built for speed
And I know we're built to last

Do you hear the voice of doubt?
Did it cause a second guess?
To still create in a hesitant state
Does it matter any less?
So settle in and assimilate
Focus on the task at hand
We'll feast and dine, enjoy the wine
When we reach the promised land

Places much more mental
Than physical
Well, I'm just spitting gold here
In parables, so I say
I know the future's free
We're not a relic of the past
And I know we're built for speed
And I know we're built to last

So I say
I know the future's free
We're not a relic of the past
And I know we're built for speed
And I know we're built to last
