Orchestra of Labor

Waking up before the sun has riiiiizz-zen (the day’s beginning) Button up my shirt, check on the childrennnnnn (no time to waste) My feet move quiet through silent halllllllllsss (they’re sleeping) As I shoulder all the weight of daily duuuuuties [Chorus] I! Close! The! Front! Door! Behind meeee-yeyeyeye With determination in my heaaaaaart Another day to build a life for themmmmmm This orchestra of labor I compose For yooooouuuuuuu [Verse 2] Hours tick byyyyy-ya-ya-ya-yayayaya (Work work work work) Text message Don’t work late tonight! I know, I’ll hurryyyy-ya-ya-ya-yayayaya “Dinner’s waiting” They miss me In this orchestra of labor I compose… For Yooooouuuuuuu [Chorus] I! Close! The! Front! Door! Behind meeee-yeyeyeye With determination in my heaaaaaart Another day to build a life for themmmmmm This orchestra of labor I compose For yooooouuuuuuu [Verse 3] But daaaaaays blend into nights, the darkness groooooooows Why don’t they feel the distance as it showwwwws? If only I could pause this relentless traaaaaain They’d see the transience of time within my paaaaaaaain [Chorus] I! Close! The! Front! Door! Behind meeee-yeyeyeye With desolation in my heaaaaaart Another day they grow and learn without meeee This orchestra of labor I compose For yooooouuuuuuu [electric guitar solo]
