A headache from not enough sleep
Two jobs at eighty hours a week
I'm feeling like a long lost sheep
Retirement funds hit bottom this week
Three Kids and five mouths to feed
One lives with his mom more than me
My tunnel has no light to see
Does this prison ever set em' free'

I'VE GOT MY WHOLE LIFE IN FRONT OF ME
I'VE GOT A CHANCE AT ETERNITY
IT'S TIME I FOCUS ON THE ONLY THING
THAT GOT ME HERE AND GIVES ME EVERYTHING
I TORE THE REAR-VIEW OFF, I'M NOT LOOKING BACK
I'M BRINGING LOVE TO THIS WORLD ON A FASTER TRACK
FORGETTING ALL IN THIS WORLD I THOUGHT I KNEW BEFORE
I'M SHOOTING STRAIGHT FOR THE STARS, AND EVEN MORE!

I've got a losing hand in this poker game
Thirty years goes by at a crazy pace
It's coming my way, I'm in the wrong lane
I've been second forever in this endless race
Is this life short or am I missing it'
I keep searching for a better fit
I'm dwelling on the 'here and how'
But there's a thought taking over now!

It's not what we're looking at, It's what we see
It's not what I'm striving for, but what's inside of me!
