Duties, responsibilities,
Round and round we go
No time, no time at all
For our lives to flow

Up and down the country
Alarm clocks start our day
Rudely awakened from dreams
It is a ritual here to stay

We bump into each other
From morning to the dark of night
But have we taken the time to know
The people we snap at and bite?

Know thyself, the prophets say
We should also be aware
To take time out to enjoy life
And show others that we care.
