your work has become way too heavy a load
you feel like your head is about to explode
your neighbors are sleeping while you’re wide awake
what is it that keeps you from taking a break
maybe your future’s as bright as the sun
maybe your journey has only begun
you can work your whole life and the road never ends
but what about your family ? what about your friends ?
remember watching saturday morning cartoons ?
remember riding your big wheel on a warm afternoon ?
remember kick the can, hide and seek, hooker park ?
remember when it would rain, we’d keep on playing
we made our mark
just when you thought there was no other hope
you find that there’s more at the end of your rope
just when you thought you had no place to run
go back to where you started from
remember having pizza after skating in the public rink ?
remember coming home from hoops
washing hands in the same sink ?
remember those sunday barbecues at charles river park ?
remember the good ole days when you didn’t have to work ?
maybe your future’s as bright as the sun
maybe your journey has only begun
you can work your whole life and the road never ends
but what about your family ? what about your friends ?
just when you thought there was no other hope
you find that there’s more at the end of your rope
just when you thought you had no place to run
go back to where you started from
