Same but new

Routine that binds but a smile made me feel alive

Morning began with stress

Alarm rings at quarter past six

And with one swift move I turn to see

That nothing new was waiting for me

 

The daily routine was already bothering me

That here I go once more out the door

And into traffic I must face

The same old crappy songs

Played on my radio

 

This morning was beginning to bother me

I was thinking of calling it quits

Taking a right and hitting that tree

Then I remembered that there was more

More of this waiting for me

If I did not survive the wreck

Then I will be living in misery

 

I followed the cars

on my westbound commute

And hopped on the road to work

I turned left and went straight

To find my single parking set

I turned off the car and walk

To get to the clock to punch for work

 

As soon as I crossed the street

That’s when luck was facing me

It gave me the biggest smile I’ve seen

And made me feel the wind again

Then I knew that monotony was gone

And I was ready to do random things

All because you smile at me

 It gave me strength to proceed

And conquer my boring routine.
