When your skull rattles on the hamster wheel and You can't tell your feet from your shoes and they Have you down for A sign on the dotted line to feed your Family a hand-me-down meal, 'cause if you're Going to survive you're going To have to make it Work, make a home, make a life when work Is home, work is life, when An honest day is honestly an Act, a head long follow through Of just enough until some fragile moment pulls you off the manic round about and you forget why and remember for whom, forget the whine of the wheel and remember a shared meal, remember that it's not the hanging of the hat but the hand in the hand, that the tunnel is only a vision and the check the means to the end of the day, that nothing we build will last beyond the graveyard shift, when you remember what it's all about, when you remember Love.
