The dreams I had as a young man
Filled with the promise of a master plan
Fuelled by the desire for a better life
Of cars and houses, a kid and a wife
I towed the line and the price was fine
Shouldn't my death be of my own design
For if life should take me before my prime
Let it be known that my time was mine
Although my efforts are not enough
To make this journey a little less tough
I sleep, wake, work and love
All else is left to God above
