(9th July 1995 Gregorian)
Ain't it strange how we change when we wake from the sleeping hours
And a stream of our dreams slips away In the morning shower
We're denied and deprived of the thoughts in our fantasies
And we rise to a world in which we no longer long to be
You can see us walking to work every day
In the sunshine, wishing the days away
And so few really do what they like and what they're good at too
Spend their time in 'The Times' hanging 'round on the underground
We spend years learning to be what we're not, and never sure
How to fit the profile that they're looking for
We turn up and try, in a shirt and a tie
While the part of us that we hide deep inside
Longs to reach for the sky, and fly, and fly, and fly...
Living out what's in your head is the best way to get you out of bed
To be you, just to do, what you like (and what you're good at too)
And to use the other side of your brain
And to leave, a part of your soul, behind in your name
There's a reason we dream, make the most of the Waking Hours
We dream to make the most of the Waking Hours
Make the most of the Waking Hours
The Waking Hours
At the Harlequin Fayre 13514 UCC (2013 Gregorian)
Young Litmus at Work!
Sitting in a dull, stuffy office on a beautiful summer's day is enough to depress anyone. That's where I found myself one day in 1995 having been to the pub over lunch with my old mate Cliff (actually the first of the words came to me sitting on the loo!!). It was one of the first times I really started to question what the hell I was doing wasting my life in the corporate world. Most days it certainly felt like trying to turn a big mill by hand...
So for me this is a special song and even though the home studio demo's not the best quality (hopefully the live versions help) I had to put this one on the site as it's really the song that began 'The Journey Home' - my 'Road To Redemption' aka From Serf to Self
Make the most of your Waking Hours...
