Two Ways Out
two ways out of every box
fall out of the bottom
or climb out of the top
get out of the box
experience new things
time to take stock
if you feel trapped
when it all closes in
don’t just adapt
kick and fight
don’t accept status quo
battle your plight
if you can’t find strength
pray for what you need
or else you will sink
the rewards will come
when the dust settles
after the fight’s begun
two ways out of every box
fall out of the bottom
or climb out of the top
