"Lately I've been in a life like limbo, Looking out of a smudged up window. We're not sure where our lives are going. Friends, it's summer outside but yet we're snowed in. Don't know where our next dollar's coming from, Living the life of a poor musician. Headliner's strong so he keeps his 9 to 5, Cutting brothers' hair as a means of staying alive. If it wasn't for the rhythm, I think we would have given up by now. This system has gotten the best of me, Now I pray for God to invest in me My dignity, invest his glory. Give me the strength so I can finish the story. Keep on searching for the right way to go out, Coz going out is what it's all about. Huh! You can't be passive, gotta be active."
