The Working Man's Ballad

Intro
If wishes had worth, I’d be rich,
But dreams never count, ain’t that a bitch?
I just work to make others rich,
Livin’ their dreams makes me twitch.
Sooner or later I gotta break free,
Sooner or later, I gotta be me.

Verse
In suits and ties they make their way,
To towers high, where they play,
With numbers and papers, their fancy display,
While I'm here toiling day by day.
Oh, the weight on my shoulders, it won't let me be,
Sooner or later, I gotta break free.

Chorus
Oh, the Working Man's Ballad, it rings so true,
Singing of the struggles we all go through,
But deep in my heart, I hold on to the key,
Sooner or later, I gotta be me.

Verse
From dawn till dusk, I'm in their grasp,
The clock ticks on, the hours elapse,
My hands grow weary, my spirit claps,
For freedom's call, it's time to unclasp.
Oh, the world keeps turning, it won't wait for me,
Sooner or later, I gotta break free.

Chorus
Oh, the Working Man's Ballad, it rings so true,
Singing of the struggles we all go through,
But deep in my heart, I hold on to the key,
Sooner or later, I gotta be me.

Bridge
The grind, the grind, oh, it takes its toll,
But I won't let it crush my soul,
For within my dreams, a fire does ignite,
Guiding me towards a brighter light.
So, here I stand, ready to take my leap,
Sooner or later, I gotta break free.

Verse
The curtain falls, the day comes to an end,
But this story's not over, my dear friend,
For I'm the protagonist, my fate I'll mend,
No longer just a cog, my spirit won't bend.
Oh, I'll chase the horizon, where my dreams I see,
Sooner or later, I gotta be me.

Chorus
Oh, the Working Man's Ballad, it rings so true,
Singing of the struggles we all go through,
But deep in my heart, I hold on to the key,
Sooner or later, I gotta be me.

Outro
Now listen here, my fellow souls,
Let not your dreams slip through the folds,
In this grand orchestra, let your voice unfold,
Sooner or later, we'll all break free, I'm told.
Oh, the Working Man's Ballad, a timeless decree,
Sooner or later, we all gotta be free.
