Dawn has broken as a light seeps in
My day is starting a mind begins
Some sound in my head from a radio blast
That wont go away again.. I hope it don't last

The burden within to pay all the bills
to wake a new day and drudge through the pills  
My day not quite started yet dreaded from quills
My only release in a dream from within
a check from old numbers a life I could win
My only escape is 10 million to one
My dream... my sad lifeline and still its just dawn  

My pillow is calling yet up I must go
My life must roll on now
all gone all the thrills
I turned to an ant and followed the lead
and now I am punished
still hope for my dream
