And as usual had been Jim Horn;

You must follow the rules

With constant effort

when you become a Master
you keep it even if you don't.

I mean to breathe- 
without effort, 
peacefully, 
naturally, 
like a child- 
in a strange, 
dim, touching way- 
to become clearer.

An ugly song about beautiful people he did pitch
The effort not in vain because he got rich

 of all those men and women
 who love without thought or effort
 and are unappreciative and taking advantage
Of being one.
