Wake up at 4.30 am every day except Sunday When I wake up at 5.00 am, coz it's a day off work Same routine day in, day out, like it or not Coz there's no alternative, for a working man Except to churn the wheel of the Daily Grind Grinding away, Grinding away, Grinding away Wake up at 4.30 am, and start on the pranayam Then some light exercises, before it's time For the morning prayers, which are a must Then a bath followed by breakfast Out of the house by 7.00 am is my target To catch the public mini bus to my workplace Arrive by 7.30 am, ready to start the work Grinding away till 5.00 pm when it's time to leave But I am grateful, grateful to the Almighty I have work and earn a reasonable income Meet the needs of my family, even if just the basics Always be grateful that my wife tells me, and it's true But it's not my ideal life, not at all Some lucky people do have it all A seven or eight-figure income, a happy family And they work as and when they want No Daily Grind For Them For the rest of us, the Daily Grind Grinding away, grinding away on the wheel of life Till the Almighty says, Enough grinding done Now join me in a new world where there is no Grind

The Daily Grind
Wake up at 4.30 am every day except Sunday When I wake up at 5.00 am, coz it's a day off work Same routine day in, day out, like it or not Coz there's no alternative, for a working man Except to churn the wheel of the Daily Grind Grinding away, Grinding away, Grinding away Wake up at 4.30 am, and start on the pranayam Then some light exercises, before it's time For the morning prayers, which are a must Then a bath followed by breakfast Out of the house by 7.00 am is my target To catch the public mini bus to my workplace Arrive by 7.30 am, ready to start the work Grinding away till 5.00 pm when it's time to leave But I am grateful, grateful to the Almighty I have work and earn a reasonable income Meet the needs of my family, even if just the basics Always be grateful that my wife tells me, and it's true But it's not my ideal life, not at all Some lucky people do have it all A seven or eight-figure income, a happy family And they work as and when they want No Daily Grind For Them For the rest of us, the Daily Grind Grinding away, grinding away on the wheel of life Till the Almighty says, Enough grinding done Now join me in a new world where there is no Grind
Dedicated To All The hard Working People , Men Like Myself Working To Meet The Needs Of Their Families
