ABOUT THIS SONG This song in A minor in the key of C is lodged in the Root Chakra, where survival and foundation issues are held. It is an exploration of many of the frustrations of the work life. Too many are literally in indentured servitude, paying off the debt they accumulated by being seduced by the credit world of get it now. Seeking some kind of inner satisfaction for the "drudgery" they do daily, people have become addicted to the immediate satisfaction wheel. Patience and postponing gratification have fallen by the wayside. This song paints the picture of lifetime after lifetime for most of humanity in one incarnation or another. And, towards the end there is the invitation to look deeper and discover that there really is something more, living right within each of us, waiting to be rediscovered. Isn't it time to do just that.? Find your personal passion and begin the process of doing what is necessary to make it manifest. It may be a gradual process that requires you not quitting your day job just yet...but in time you shall find your fulfillment...if you choose and take the action...or it will be more of they work they work they work their life away... |
SONG LYRICS: WORK
In the cities and towns Farms and fields See it begin The daily ordeal They get money for time Money for brains Money for strength Money for pain They work they work Work the time away They work they work Work the life away Day after day Such a routine Gone the spark Gone the dream Stuck in a job Stuck in a life Shut my heart Close my eyes And I work I work Work the time away I work I work Work the life away Where is the joy Where the pride Where fulfillment God I feel tired How can I change How to let go How can I do What’s in my soul? There are things that I love Things that I do Skills in me That I have not used I could create a job Create a life That fills my heart Fills my mind Work that work Would breeze the Time away That work that work Life would feel like play I can see it all before me A life so different indeed Rising up to greet the morning A smile on me From this moment All that I do Leads me on To the work I choose Building my skills Training my mind Taking the steps As I design Work that work Would breeze the time away That work that work Life would feel like play ©1996.
