I Want To Spend the Day In Bed

I want to spend the day in bed
I do not want to earn my bread
but read and think in bed instead
I want to spend the day in bed

It's not the way to get ahead
time's running out, is what you said
so switch it off, it pains my head
I'd rather spend the day in bed

I just don't want to sprint ahead
playing the game's the thing I dread
when all is done and all is said
I'd rather spend the day in bed

I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
