Tell me how to quit the rat race
Show me how to find a way
Teach me how to break these patterns
Find a way from work, to play.

I have had enough of lying,
Mediocre isn't me
I am slowly, slowly dying
I am longing to be free.

How'd I get here? Why'd I stay here?
I gave up, and now I'm old,
Help me not make poor decisions,
Help me to be brave, and bold.

Find me, find me,
Guide me, mind me,
Stay and love me
Stand behind me.
