lyrics

[Intro: K-Sam]
Welcome to a world of progress
Where we strive to reach perfection
And know that it’s a process
So grateful to be
Creators of everything we see
In a world of progress

[Verse 1: Low Viscosity]
What does it take to change a system?
Who are the people for the job?
It’s one thing to know the keys and list ‘em
Another to try one and turn the knob
Well here goes nothin’
I gotta make somethin’ out of it
These problems we’re facin’
I ain’t been proud of it
I’ve faced ‘em complacently
It’s time to shove it
It’s rubbish to think it’ll change itself
The world needs help
It needs doers, action
Not just more books on the shelf
It needs movers, traction
How about a time and space
Where courageous acts are commonplace
Where the matters that matter
And ideas worth sharing
Are carried out with love, power and grace

[Chorus: K-Sam]
Welcome to a world of progress
Where we strive to reach perfection
And know that it’s a process
So grateful to be
Creators of everything we see
In a world of progress
We’re in a world of progress
A world of progress
Perfection is a process
Learn from all our losses
In a world of progress

[Verse 2: Low Viscosity]
Newbies and masters alike
We learn from each other
If we find an answer that doesn’t give light
We search for another
Iterate ’til we get it straight
Whatever it takes to be great
To be good
Any doubt in our fate is like wood
We incinerate
We take what’s left and make life out of soot
(We are) Philosophers and thinkers
Engineers who love to tinker
Changemakers and teachers
(We are) Entrepreneurs, dream-pursuers
Innovative yea-sayers
We ain’t beggars, we’re choosers
Welcome to a zone where the next is now
And the moment is owned
By the crowd that leads with why, not how
We’re redefining power
So allow us to welcome you

[Chorus: K-Sam]

[Bridge: Low Viscosity & K-Sam]
Iterate ’til we get it straight (yea, we just)
Iterate ’til we get it straight (yea, we just)
Iterate ’til we get it straight
Whatever it takes
We meditate, perspirate, generate, then celebrate

[Outro: K-Sam]
In a world of progress
We’re in a world of progress
A world of progress
Perfection is a process
Learn from all our losses
In a world of progress
