Wake up for something different<\/p>\n
More than just the day<\/p>\n
Wanting to get started<\/p>\n
With sunshine to make hay<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Not just \u2018cause I have to<\/p>\n
For work to pay the bills<\/p>\n
To keep the fires going<\/p>\n
To ward off all the chills<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There must be a better carrot<\/p>\n
To keep me in the game<\/p>\n
Not this everyday routine<\/p>\n
That sometimes feels so lame<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To paint a special story<\/p>\n
As they did on old cave walls<\/p>\n
To say I\u2019ve been here also<\/p>\n
It\u2019s how immortality calls<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There\u2019s too much distraction<\/p>\n
Every time I look and see<\/p>\n
What\u2019s going on outside this life<\/p>\n
I search and can\u2019t find me<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Write a song and sing it often<\/p>\n
When riding on the bus<\/p>\n
When walking in the grocery store<\/p>\n
To let them know we\u2019re us<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll keep looking for my thing<\/p>\n
That suits me to a \u201cT\u201d<\/p>\n
I promise to lay down my mark<\/p>\n
To remind us we are we<\/p>\n
