In time
It started from the beginning of time,
When words would go on and on.
On and on about the value of making a dime.
First it was do what you wish
But they eventually faded into what will make you rich,
For all they ever wanted was so you would never have to wash another dish.
Just be successful, they said.
Just be happy, they said
But who would’ve thought the difficulties of staying fed.
Selling out to make the bill,
And working double to make ends meet,
But please, always try to remember the dream, if you will.
You’ve worked day and night,
Your goal is in sight,
And once it's achieved you’ll feel in flight.
Never lose hope,
Never give up, and
Never forget what's in sight
Try and keep trying
Work and keep working
For success comes in time
And in time will come success.
