O' Saturn

O' Sa turning 
Got me learning

O, around and around 
Got me stumblin' and fallin' down

I just wanna play 
But you say, "No, not today."

Maybe tomorrow, maybe?
But today there is a little delay

Rings, rings of restriction
O, Father Time just laying down his conviction 

Discipline on the scene
Oh goat, why you so mean?

Lessons, oh lessons of life
Sweet leaves atop I'm seeking despite longlasting strife

Top of the mountain, I clearly see
Dreams inside just ready to run free

Sweat on my brow, toil on my face
Higher heights I'm going, leaving this sullen place

Yes! Up and up is where I'll be
In the meantime, O' Saturn is just a wrestlin' with me
