A child one day, slept in too late
A man then had to pay
The child wanted to just linger
Life wouldn't wait, the man would not delay
The child wants to sit down with his thoughts
But the man had another plan
The child can sit and count all the stars
But that’s no way for the man to be a man
His soft voice is being drowned
He has been asked to be real
He cannot go on to love
Unless he learns how to crack a deal
The child one day woke up
And realized all his dreams are dead
