lyrics

It’s morning—the hours all but vanished
No more snoring ‘cause there’s an opportunity to take advantage of
and she won’t let it slip away—too determined
No obstacle is conquered if you often lose your purpose
So she studies on her breakfast, eggs over textbook
Crossed off the check list, forgot about her necklace
Priorities changing what she thought was so important
before chasing possibility; the promise so enormous
She’s out of bed, fed, and read the chapter review
Off to school, kept to herself, would only chat for a few
‘cause she was acing that test, no chance to redo
Just execute the first time and bid the classroom adieu
‘Cause after 4:00 it’s right back to working the lobby
Drive across town to stir a couple more cups of coffee
Count the minutes until the shift ends at last
and count the days ’til it’s finished and this is all in the past

We make ourselves go crazy
for the things we think we need
Self-sabotage the future
Call it fear or call it greed
There's a better path
May it be the one you lead
'Cause workin for a living
doesn't have to make you bleed

It’s midnight—she really needs to go to sleep
but we’ve hardly even seen each other all this week
That’s the price of all this ambition:
working twice as hard; sacrifice, part of a grand vision
Sandwiching minimal sleep & long hours
between a lack of relax days off and hot showers
Looking for a release, just for a moment
And then it’s back to the plan of attack: have to keep going
if she’s ever gonna make it out of this routine
Being stuck behind a counter, taking orders from rude teens
Every part of her, from her hair to her shoe soles
is dying to take off this apron and trade it for new goals
and the freedom of living on your own terms
No more working double shifts and going onto homework
Running out of steam, infatuated with a dream
But she acclimated and graduated with esteem

Time keeps on ticking
Work so hard to fulfill your mission
It's your life, don't need to ask permission
to walk the path of a life worth living
