[Verse] I clock in early, and clock out late Ask for promotions but they hesitate I give my all but they look past Don't know how much longer I can last [Chorus] Overlooked again its the same old song Climbing a ladder that's miles and miles long They shake my hand but don't see my scars Dreams feel as distant as the farthest stars [Verse 2] Take on more work, do the job of two They call me loyal but won’t pursue I have the skills but can't seem to float I'm sinking fast in this corporate boat [Chorus] Overlooked again its the same old tale Straining my voice but my shouts derail I’m right here waiting with my heart in hand Yet stuck in circles where I continue to stand [Bridge] Maybe I’m too loud or maybe too meek Maybe the words I need I just don’t speak But someday soon they'll see the flame inside Burning in the soul they keep pushing aside [Chorus] Overlooked again yeah but I'll hold tight This grit will shine through the darkest night They can pass me by but they’ll one day find The power of the dream that won't be left behind
