Wake up for something different

More than just the day

Wanting to get started

With sunshine to make hay

 

Not just ‘cause I have to

For work to pay the bills

To keep the fires going

To ward off all the chills

 

There must be a better carrot

To keep me in the game

Not this everyday routine

That sometimes feels so lame

 

To paint a special story

As they did on old cave walls

To say I’ve been here also

It’s how immortality calls

 

There’s too much distraction

Every time I look and see

What’s going on outside this life

I search and can’t find me

 

Write a song and sing it often

When riding on the bus

When walking in the grocery store

To let them know we’re us

 

I’ll keep looking for my thing

That suits me to a “T”

I promise to lay down my mark

To remind us we are we
