Wretched

You work so hard You work all day You work till you cry and all you can say Is that you left your job in a state of dismay And that is your life right now You wake up to a day that is cold and is dark And you look forward to a life that is long and is stark And all you wish is for fun and a lark But this is your life right now, this is you life right now So leave all your worries to the dark of the morn And rise up to the challenge that is shown by the dawn And breath in the world that you have since you were born Because this is this your life right now, this is your life right now When you have challenged yourself and can hold your head high When you believe you have tried, and not just got by When you can be proud you have worked and your sweat has turned dry Then you can rest your head right now, rest your head right now.
