Finding Balance

[Verse 1]  
I feel the weight of the world on my soul, 
Burnt out on the streets, just trying to feel whole.  
Turned like a page, I got lost in the grind, 
Churned like butter, too many thoughts on my mind.  
Sauerkraut dreams, where’s the joy?  
[Chorus] 
As crazy as myself, yet still I stand, 
From stealth bombers to sunshine, I take my chance.  
[Verse 2]  
Brussels over booze, it’s a healthier choice, 
Got some new moves, got to listen to my voice.  
Hit the snooze button, but I am awake at dawn, 
I do NOT mean to be a glutton, just carrying on.  
A plan is set, I will be alright, 
Fight the good fight, you got the right.  

[Chorus] 

[Outro] 

Hooray, just let it play, 
I am stoked to get the chance to even see my son today.
