Ok, ok. Let's not start a dispute.

You suppose a light solution just a simple explanation to this.
Questioning if a simple explanation is sufficient for the complex situation.
And he a man would love, just love to fill your mind with his.

And don't stop believing now, and don't stop moving now,
Encouraging perseverance and movement, not giving up.

I'll just inter my feeling. No, just stop this right now!

(Dry your eyes. This is not a time for promises)

Go ahead and act as expected. An accurate presumption I had in mind.

You are losing miserably.

And don't stop believing now, and don't stop moving now,
Repeating the encouragement to believe, move, and love.
