Work and Play
Show me how
Show me why
Why we play
Why we work
Work all day
Work to pay
Pay the bills
Pay the way
Way to live
Way to be
Be the strong
Be the best
Best of them
Best of all
All the while
All the time
Time to go
Time to stop
Stop and look
Stop and start
Start your car
Start your shift
Shift your need
Shift your want
Want for more
Want for better
Better to love
Better to live
Live for bad times
Live for good times
Good times in bed
Good times ahead
Ahead of the pack
Ahead of the game
Game face on
Game face gone
Gone are the months
Gone are the years
Years spent learning
Years spent growing
Growing into shoes
Growing into Roles
Roles of a parent
Roles of a friend
Friend sometimes shortly
Friend sometimes forever
Forever was the work
Forever want to play
People want to play
To do, there’s always work
