The Journey


 

Life is like work

 

A big time clock to punch in and out every day

 

One big routine

 

School, work, sleep

 

School, work, sleep

 

Nothing ever changes, one thing is always the same

 

From one day, to the next, and to the next

 

A drone trying to reach his destination

 

But what is that destination?

 

A box for an office to sit in eight hours a day?

 

Life shouldn’t be like work, Life is a journey

 

Even when it breaks you down so much you can’t breath

 

One second you’re having the time of your life

 

The next you’re lying on the floor crying

 

Life is a journey, through the good and the bad,

 

Everything in the end will be OK.

If it’s not, then it’s not the end.
