Away in a Hurry


Away in a hurry I go

As so my car won’t be toed

I avert my eyes

And focus on the lies

 

Away in a hurry I go

I wish my taxes were low

I have no time for games

I have to catch that plane

 

Away in a hurry I go

Going to and fro

Remember this

Don’t forget that

 

Away in a hurry I go

I don’t have time for

The poor

The hungry

The sick

The orphaned

The dying

I am caught up in my

Own world

Away in a hurry I go.
