**“No Rest for the Heart”** (Verse 1) Morning comes, I’m already tired, Chasing dreams that feel pre-wired. Bills are stacked, the pressure grows, Every path just leads to “owe.” Clocks keep ticking, I can’t slow down, Wearing stress like it’s my crown. Thought that money buys control, But it’s digging out my soul. (Pre-Chorus) Hands are full but heart is empty, Numbers rise but they don’t save me. Running hard, but standing still, Trying to outrun what I feel. (Chorus) I’ve got money on my mind, But no peace I can find. Family calling, I decline, Always saying “just one more time.” Working late into the night, Chasing wrong instead of right. Tell me why I’m so confined, With everything - but peace of mind. (Verse 2) Kids are growing, I don’t see, Moments lost in currency. Voices fade behind the grind, I say “later” all the time. Love gets buried under goals, Trading warmth for empty roles. Thought success would set me free, Now it feels like slavery. (Pre-Chorus) Every win just feels so hollow, No tomorrow I can follow. Built a life I can’t escape, Trapped inside the mess I made. (Chorus) I’ve got money on my mind, But no peace I can find. Family calling, I decline, Always saying “just one more time.” Working late into the night, Chasing wrong instead of right. Tell me why I’m so confined, With everything - but peace of mind. (Bridge) What’s the cost of what I earn? How much more before I learn? All these roads I chose to take, Lead me further from awake. Maybe less is what I need, Not more hours, not more greed. Maybe peace ain’t something bought, But something I already lost. (Final Chorus) Had money on my mind, Still no peace I could find. Now I hear them, I won’t decline, No more “just one more time.” Put the work down, hold them tight, Finally choosing what is right. Took too long but now I see, Peace of mind starts here - with me.
