I’m on the inside looking out
as springtime slowly flutters by;
my leisure time is in a drought,
and leaving me to wonder why
I work so hard when end is nigh.
I’m on the inside looking out
as sunshine warms the April day,
and people strolling all about,
and in the park the children play
while in my office I must stay.
I’m on the inside looking out;
the work on desk is stacking high,
and leaving me to have some doubt,
and realize how time does fly
as days and years go marching by.
I’m on the inside looking out;
how much of me does life require?
It may be time that I break out;
it’s downtime that I now desire;
perhaps it’s time I should retire.
