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
